Julia - Your post triggered memories of a Christmas time trip to northern CR in 1988 with a friend. It was quite an adventure and you are “dead on balls accurate” (as my cousin Vinny’s fiancé would say) about the people, food and ambience! I need to go back. I’m going to make your recipe today with fresh Louisiana shrimp. Once I “get it in my belly,” I’ll let you know if I did your recipe justice. I love your column! Au revoir, mon ami!
Honestly Julia, you really do get better and better.
(I've been to Costa Rica. Loved it! And now I want to go back.)
So yes, you know many places and are passionate about all food……whether eating, preparing, or learning. But it is the way you write about it all! Total wow.
Each time, I am instantly engaged! I always learn something, and you always always give me at least one laugh. Love that!
On our fourth trip to Costa Rica and sampling ceviche is one of my favorite pastimes here. Always very good and sometimes outstanding. Depending upon my mood and appetite, I might order ceviche to share as an appetizer, or for my main for a light dinner. Usually served with tortilla chips, I personally prefer saltines. Pura vide!

I adore both ceviche and the Mexican version, aguachile, whose origins (maybe apocryphal?) stem from sailors using chilli and seawater to cure their fish. It tends to be spicier than ceviche, and I love it: https://www.theyucatantimes.com/2021/09/all-you-need-to-know-about-aguachile
Julia, LET’S GO!! This looks so delish, and you are the only person who ever makes me want to cook anything! You’ve done it again!!
Wonderful photos- you make me want to jump on the plane immediately!
