How to Celebrate National Ceviche Day
Celebrating ceviche and all the seafood things surrounding it can be a load of fun! Try these ideas or come up with other creative ways to honor the day:
Try Out Ceviche
For those who may have never tried ceviche before, now is the perfect day to try it! Ceviche is commonly found served up in the Caribbean or Latin American restaurants, and sometimes it can be found at Mexican eateries. Call ahead or check online to find out which local restaurants might have ceviche on the menu.
Make Ceviche at Home
For those people who wish to try making their own ceviche at home, with a little time and effort it’s possible to have a delicious and healthy meal. Just be wary that it is necessary to take the normal precautions with the preparation of the raw fish, as would be prudent for any meal that includes raw fish.
Invite Friends Over For Ceviche
Once it has been discovered how simple ceviche is–without any actual cooking needed–it will be time to invite friends, family, or neighbors over to enjoy this delightfully fresh, summery dish.
For the wine connoisseurs in the crowd, an excellent beverage pairing to go along with ceviche might include a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc.
For those in the younger crowd, channel that inner Peruvian and drink some imported Inca Cola, Coca Cola or a cold beer. Popular beers in Peru include the Pilsen Callo, Cristal or Cusqueña
Make sure to take photos of those delicious creations and share with friends and family so that they can all be aware of National Ceviche Day and enjoy it too!
Take a Trip to Lima, Peru
To appreciate this seafood dish in all of its true glory, a trip to the capital of Peru may be required! Lima, known as the City of Kings, offers beautiful architecture, a fun nightlife, surfing and, of course, world-class food.
Take a bike tour around the city, go shopping, enjoy a leisurely walk, tour the catacombs visit museums and top off the day with, of course, a dinner of ceviche!
