From The Sea: Ceviche De Vieira Recipe

Chef and restaurateur Scott Myers' love of Mexican food began on his first visit to the country at age seven, spending hours in the kitchen with his grandmother and aunts, helping prepare recipes that had been passed down through generations — salsas, moles, enchiladas, tamales, sopas, chiles rellenos, chilaquiles and more. His recent book, Authentic Mexican Cooking, is a tribute to the cuisine that inspires him. Find the freshest, best quality scallops you can, and don't cook them a bit. That's what ceviche is for.
