Then we'll continue to the neighbourhood of Barranco, where we'll eat at a restaurant called Canta Rana. Here we'll have mixed ceviche with fish, shrimp and squid. Plus all the classic ingredients like sweet potato, red onions, white corn, toasted corn, and spicy ají.
Lastly, we'll go to the neighbourhood of Miraflores to eat at Punto Azul, which is one of our favourite restaurants for ceviche. This time around, we'll try their oriental ceviche, which is Peruvian-Japanese fusion food. This ceviche is different in the sense that it has certain ingredients like soy sauce, sesame oil and spring onions that come from Japanese cuisine.
We hope you enjoy this ceviche taste test done 3 different ways!
Eating PERUVIAN CEVICHE from Fishermen's Market to Restaurants! 😋🇵🇪 | Ceviche Taste Test 3 Ways!
🍽️ Lima Ceviche Taste Test • 3 Epic Spots in 1 Video
Join us on a mouth-watering journey through Lima’s best cevicherías! From a local fishermen’s market to Peruvian-Argentine fusion and indie seafood hotspots, here’s exactly what happens (in order) and what’s said:
Intro & Mission
“Greetings from Lima, Peru! Today we’re doing a ceviche taste test challenge, sampling three very different takes on the national dish.”
Ceviche = raw fish cured in lime; we love it so much we eat it almost daily in Lima.
Stop 1: Chorrillos Fishermen’s Market (Mercado Artesanal de Pescadores)
Atmosphere: a local beachside market, pelicans circling for scraps, rowboats against a foggy Pacific backdrop.
We scoop ceviche into small cups for S/5 each (~USD $1.50).
Leche de Tigre “milk of the tiger” shot: potent lime-fish juice—“real deal, nice and sour!”
Mini plate: red onions, canchita (toasted corn), corn kernels, sweet potato (camote) and breaded fried fish.
“Delicious, affordable and very local”—the perfect quick ceviche snack.
Stop 2: Canta Rana (The “Singing Frog”)
Waited 20 minutes in a long line for this popular Peruvian-Argentine fusion spot—“reminds us of Buenos Aires’ El Cuartito!”
Mixed Seafood Ceviche (S/45–50): fish, shrimp, calamari, red onions, corn, camote, crispy nori strips.
Milanesa a la Napolitana: breaded cutlet smothered in cheese, ham, tomato sauce—“authentic Argentine comfort!”
Price point: ~USD $11–13 per entrée. “Totally worth the wait and the calories.”
Stop 3: Punto Azul The Blue Door (Blue Door Seafood)
Covert name, bold décor—“maybe I’ll open my own called The Green Window!”
Parmesan Risotto Shrimp Delight: arborio rice, melted cheese & shrimp—“incredibly rich, secret craving satisfied.”
Oriental Ceviche: Japanese-Peruvian fusion with lime, soy, chives & aji amarillo–spiked leche de tigre.
Merengue de Chirimoya: cherimoya meringue layered with silky manjar blanco caramel.
Total bill S/121 (~USD $30+): “Phenomenal deal for fine seafood & dessert.”
Outro & Reflections
“What a wrap! Eerie market vibes, high-energy restaurant scenes and a fancy third stop to close our ceviche trilogy.”
“Which style was your favourite—classic market cup, Peruvian-Argentine mash-up or Japanese fusion?”
