Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss fish cubes with lime juice, red onion, jalapeño, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 8–10 minutes until the fish turns opaque.

  2. Step 2

    While ceviche cures, toss sweet potato with oil and salt. Spread on a sheet pan and roast at 425°F for 12 minutes until edges brown.

  3. Step 3

    Pat squid rings dry. Toss with flour, salt, and pepper until lightly coated on both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 1/4 inch oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds. Working in batches, fry squid rings 60–90 seconds per side until light golden and crispy. Transfer to paper towels.

  5. Step 5

    In the same skillet (oil drained), toast choclo over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring once, until charred and fragrant.

  6. Step 6

    Divide ceviche between two bowls. Top with roasted sweet potato, charred choclo, and crispy calamari. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
