Big thanks to Daniel Gritzer for highlighting my ceviche de sierra recipe for Serious Eats team’s favorite recipes of 2023! Developing it was an odyssey. Ceviche de sierra is such an iconic dish in Mazatlán and there are so many ways to make it. I tried to consider as many perspectives and traditions as I could. I hope it helps readers in other places appreciate an unfamiliar corner of the world (if it’s unfamiliar to them), or reminds them of home.
