Scallop Aguachile With Jalapeño, Cucumber, and Avocado

If you love ceviche, then Mexico's aguachile is for you.

Classic Peruvian-Style Fish Ceviche

Sashimi and crudo may be the John and Paul of the raw seafood band, but ceviche is the George. A little less popular, a little less flashy, but altogether more complex, sharper, and complex, with a bit of acid. It differs from George in one key way though: It's really easy to get into.
