1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon shallots, chopped

Definition: Tiradito

Derived from the word tirar, which means "to throw," tiradito is the Peruvian cousin to crudo, sashimi, and ceviche.

Derived from the word tirar, which means "to throw," tiradito is the Peruvian cousin to crudo, sashimi, and ceviche. This raw seafood dish can be executed with a wide variety of fresh catch, from white-fleshed fish to shellfish and even octopus. Seafood is prepared in wafer-thin slices, and dressed cold with a light marinade that typically includes lime juice, and may also include olive oil, ginger, and various ají peppers. Unlike ceviches, tiraditos don't typically contain onions.
Lately, I've spotted tiradito on an increasing number of menus. Have you ever tried it?

Definition: Crudo

If you like sashimi, chances are, you'll enjoy crudo (pronounced "crew-doh").

If you like sashimi, chances are, you'll enjoy crudo (pronounced "crew-doh"). The word, which means raw in Italian and Spanish, refers to the preparation of slicing fish thinly, then drizzling it with oil, acid, and seasonings.

A classic example, which has been served for generations in Italian fishing towns, might include olive oil, citrus juice, and salt.
