Scallop Ceviche Recipe Video
Chef Patricio Sandoval of Mercadito at 100 7th Avenue South (at Grove Street) in New york City explains the mystery of ceviche. Yes, it is cooked! In addition to adding flavor, the citric acid in lemons & limes (or other citrus fruits) causes the proteins in the seafood to break down, which pickles or "cooks" the fish without heat. I love the fresh fruity flavor...light yet flavorful.
