Tiradito

=Tiradito = Tiradito is a dish consisting of thinly sliced raw fish and a citric sauce. The dish is very similar to ceviche, but has a few noticeable differences. In ceviche, the fish is cubed and soaked in a spicy lime sauce. In Tiradito, the fish is sliced and a milder aji yellow sauce is poured over it before serving. It is also served with corn and potatoes. Tiradito reflects culture of Japanese immigrants on Peruvian cooking. The fish is thinly sliced in the style of sashimi, which is a Japanese delicacy consisting of raw meat or fish. Many Japanese people started immigrating to Peru in the late 1800’s. Tiradito was introduced around this time as well.
