Mexican Ceviche..can't get any better than this...
What a great snack or meal..Mexican style Ceviche...my neighbor recommended Ceviche 3 tostadas for $20 pesos in Valle Verde, Ensenada...freshly made
every morning...cheap...but fit for a king (or a queen!!). A little avocado on top crowns this delicious gastronomic delight!!! Where is your best
bet for Ceviche??

Nostalgia...
Ceviche de camaron on board the shrimper San Pedro Cuarto (San Pedro IV) anchored in bahia sta inez, near pta chivato. Tostadas mounded with
impossibly high piles of shrimp. Pacificos so cold the necks froze up, snatched from the brine solution next to the hold. The tang of salt air.
Pelicans perched on the davits.
Ensenada is one of "the" spots in Mexico IMHO for seafood. Guaymas, Mazatlan, and Veracruz are the other places so precious.
As far as I'm concerned, fresh cebiche is one of the healthiest foods on earth. Cebiche taught me that tostadas, not totopos (corn chips) are better
for "everything" because they have little salt. I use the word cebiche because the other spelling is so uncommon. I used it above to avoid confusion.
Now...
Where is Valley Verde? Yum yum!

Valle Verde is closer towards the center of town and has its own little strip mall of segundas. I have really grown to love the place. Its about a
10 minute drive to the beach, and about a 5 minute drive to downtown Ensenada. Yet, it doesn't get the traffic or the riff-raff of the downtown area.
And the rents are cheap, cheap, cheap!! Want to go for a latte at 9 pm at night? NO problem. That's the problem with Punta Banda/La Joya.
Everything closes up so early. Not as close to the US as Tijuana, but I wouldn't live in TJ at gunpoint (which you probably will have to do if you
live there). But in an hour you are at the border, and with your Sentri pass, its fast flyin' to San Diego!!

Ceviche de camaron, I make my own....it's legendary, like a party going on inside of your mouth.....and yes, definetly tostadas, not totopos. Serve it
with a jar of mayo on the side in case you want to go all the way........

I don`t think it`s that easy........ very time consuming with all the chopping into fine bits. But what is easy and cheap, is buying it, especially
the shrimp and lobster ceviche!!

Buy yourself a hand chopper........experiment with ingredients.
Then you will have the satisfaction enjoying it twice....once when you make it yourself, knowing what is in it and once when you are enjoying the
eating!!!!!

Most things cooked in lime are tasty
Baja California can be a heaven or hell experience - often the determining factor is your AWARENESS in the moment.

La Guerrerense, at Calle Primera and Alvarado, Ensenada. Bourdain ate there on his recent Baja show. The shrimp, crab, octopus and bacalao ceviches
are awesome. Next trip I'm trying the sea urchin.

There is an arc-shaped "rocking" chef's knife that can mince shrimp, fish, and tomatoes so fast it is scary. Handle on both ends.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

It's called a Mezzaluna which means "half moon" in Italian, after the curved shape of the blade, and is the most common name used in the UK. Other
names used include herb chopper or hachoir, which is its French name.
