Would you like to try one of Central America’s typical dishes? Today we are going to talk to you about fish ceviche, a delicacy that you can sample on your travels through this beautiful part of the world.

Savour the culture

Ceviche is undoubtedly one of Central America’s most classic and well-loved dishes, and the way in which it is prepared always manages to win everyone over. The question is, will it become one of your favourites? Central American cuisine has much to offer, so make sure you don’t miss out on this dish on your travels to Guatemala, Honduras or El Salvador.

The secret to ceviche

What makes this dish so delicious? One of the tricks lies in the balance of flavours between the lemon, coriander, chilli and garlic and, when it comes to Honduras, coconut milk and a side of fried plantain.

However, the type of fish used depends on the country. Sea bass is often one of the most typical choices. You can also find dishes with octopus, mussels or even shrimps in areas like Honduras. Which one will you like best?
