I like seafood; this dish brings out the good flavors of the seafood ingredients in a way that is pleasant to our taste buds. I also love the kick from the dried chilies. I recommend having this dish with generous amounts of steamed rice.

      Where is your locale? If you live somewhere in the US, you can try your local hispanic store, they like using the seafood mix in their ceviche dish.
