Is there great ceviche in Calgary?

I'm hoping for something comparable to what you'll find in South America. Post your local ceviche experience.

Don't think I've tried ceviche before, but my friends family owns a peruvian restaurant close to sunridge mall that serves it. I haven't tried the ceviche myself, but I know they do serve it. I've eaten there a few times, and it seems to have good reviews.

Pio Peruvian restaurant.

Any other suggestions?

Make it at home.

All you need is acid to 'cook' the fish and you can use basa instead of snapper.

Vinegar with some lime juice and if you're a fan of it, ginger... :drool:

IMO the Ceviche at Anejo is very good.

+1, it's really simple, the East Malaysian native type my mom makes called hinava uses ginger, Thai chili, heavy on the lime , tomato, thin cut shallots and sometimes calamari with the fish. Basically almost the same thing my Peruvian friend's mom in junior high used to make, that and the fried chicken = :drool: just make sure as flip said, lots of the acid to cook, either vinegar or citric, whatever.

Edit: My mom uses mackerel usually.

I've done it at home quite a few times. Just take Shrimp, soak it in lemon juice, lime, red onion. Serve it up with hot sauce and crackers. Delicious.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried Añejo tonight; they have three different styles of ceviche. We had the shrimp and scallop which was terrific.

I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food but Añejo has a very unique twist to it with many options on the menu that are not what you would typically find at more standardized tex-mex places like Salt & Pepper or Julio's. The ambience was also quite good and high-energy.

Would recommend.
