Shrimp ceviche
I’m a huge seafood lover, and lately I’ve been in heaven.
Last Friday, my friend Alice and I went to the market in Coyoacán, which supposedly specializes in seafood. (And they have interesting stalls that sell honeyed lime peel.) We found a cute cafe and sat out on the patio, and gorged ourselves on ceviche, seafood cocktails and smoked marlin tacos. After lunch I bought some of that honeyed lime peel. It tasted pretty much like… lime peel. Oh well.
On Saturday, hubby and I went to Contramar, one of the best seafood restaurants in the city. Half the menu is appetizers, which is great because you can try a bunch of stuff at the same time. We had the tuna tostadas, with a smidge of creamy chipotle sauce and crispy onions; the pulpo a la gallega, drizzled in spicy oil that cried out to be sopped up with a hunk of country bread; and the crab tacos, huasteca style, garnished with large slices of avocado. Plus we had wine. And bread. And a slice of fig tart for dessert.
During the entire meal, I felt like I was emitting rays of sunshine. I already told Crayton we’re going back for my birthday.
For the food porn lovers, there are more pics after the jump.
