Ceviche

Citrus-cured raw fish with red onion, sweet potato and choclo, the Peruvian classic that lands hardest in Brickell where NUNA's Nikkei kitchen pours leche de tigre by the shot.

Miami's ceviche tradition is Peruvian-led, growing from the 1980s with the first wave of Peruvian immigration and accelerating with chefs like Gaston Acurio and Jaime Pesaque carrying Lima's template into Brickell hotel kitchens. Cuban Miami has its own ceviche line drawing on Caribbean and Florida fish; the Peruvian style remains the city's reference.
