3:27 Una pequeña aclaración before our dear peruvian brothers get mad and insane at this: Parihuela is indeed a peruvian dish. Our version of seafood soup / chowder is called 'sopa marinera' found throughout the ecuadorian coast. As any border territory, there's many dishes and ingredients shared at every side of the frontier. Just like in Tumbes and Piura (Perú) they eat as much chifles and plantain products as the whole Ecuador, unlike the rest of Perú where its consumption is less common. They also prepare many plantain dishes in Loreto, the biggest peruvian departamento bordering Ecuador by the amazon. Being this said, it's true about the quality of our fish and seafood. I've got many contacts in Peru (including an ex) and everytime he came to visit Ecuador, their family always told him to have as much seafood as posible, because they appreciate a lot its world known quality. Hopefully one day we will also be recognised by our amazing-but-unknown cuisine! Greetings from Quito!
Ceviche is one of my fave foods...my first-tried version, and my preferred one, is the Yucatecan... fish of the day into cubes, marinated in lime... onions in lime separately, both brained and put into fresh lime juice with minced habanero and tomato... tortilla chips on the side. I look forward to making my own after I get moved as well as try the local versions!
Hi @Ayngelina I've been watching your great Ecuador vids for preparing to travel to Ecuador this month(so exciting). So I have a question about traveling back to the US. Do I need to take the covid test prior entering the US or not. If yes where should I get it in Quito? Thank you so much. 🙂
How exciting! So I am Canadian but had a layover in the US and had to get a PCR test and I am pretty sure that you'll need to get one to return as well. There are TONS of places where you can get one done in Quito. But I was just looking on the Ecuador government's site for approved places because you have to be vaccinated AND get a PCR test for the Galapagos and here is the site : www.calidadsalud.gob.ec/acess-app-servicio-ciudadano/public/covid19/informacionCovid19.jsf
@@ayngelina I have 1 more question for you please. I've been searching the weather in november in ecuador(I'll be traveling in quito,banos and papallacta 22-29Nov). Is it worth to visit during that time since the weather says it will be a lot of rain? Thank you so much again.
@@plabuanoo3701 of course happy to help! So in Ecuador you always need to have a rain jacket on you. It doesn't matter when you go. But I find it doesn't rain until the afternoon and rain doesn't mean it will rain every day or all afternoon. For what it's worth I'll be around those areas too and the weather isn't really a factor. Just bring warm clothes and a light rain jacket. Even on the sunniest and brightest days I throw my rain jacket in my bag and I'm always shocked how often I need it.
Any chance you can hold your spoon under the camera when you are showing an ingredient (like the fish, or the camote?). We basically see the bottom of your spoon, so its hard to see what you are trying to show us. Great video, I will watch more of yours thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. It can be so tricky with foods that have a liquid. You don't know how many shots I have of spilling things on the table. But you're right I could just tilt it down so you can get a view from the top 😊
Lol, yes, I was actually going to say maybe the camera in food videos should be on the plates and table? I am also a fan of spending time to see the menu, and maybe captions on the items with prices? I do enjoy how you enjoy food tho, I am taking notes. I'm also planning to stay at that hostel hotel in quito near the airport helped by your video, and some added research it has what I need including pet friendly 😀
@@sunshinet3058 I do have closed captioning on the video which I spend probably an hour doing so the words are correct but I can absolutely start showing the menu and prices for you. Let me know if there's anything else you need 😊
@@ayngelina good to know. I've seen the things you like, so I trust your opinion. I have no plans so far other than I will arrive in Bogota. What are some memorable places you've eaten there or in other places in Colombia? Or possibly some memorable dishes? I'd sure appreciate a suggestion or two if you have time!
@@toddsikkila1623 I wrote this a while ago www.baconismagic.ca/colombia/traditional-colombian-food/ and my most memorable places are always the market. Colombia has great ones. Do not miss the juice there!
Soy de la Provincia de El Oro, puedo decirte que he viajado y probado toda la comida de las otras provincias de la costa y la mejor en mariscos es la de Puerto Bolivar, puerto Jeli de aquí de El Oro, y por cuestiones de trabajo conoci gente de esas provincias y coincidieron conmigo que la mejor sazón en mariscos es la de estos 2 lugares de El Oro. Debo reconocer que ciertos platos de Manabi, esmeraldas y guayas también se destacan y son muy ricos.
Good video. I never liked “ceviche de concha”. Most people in Ecuador love it. Personally I like more Peruvian fish ceviche and leche de tigre, but Ecuadorian shrimp ceviche is very good.
La parihuela se consume solo en El Oro, porque es nativo de ahí y del norte de Perú. En el resto del país no lo comemos, we don't eat it elsewhere. We have our own seafood chowder (sopa marinera) and crab soup (caldo de cangrejo).
@@ayngelina la sopa marinera la puede consumir en la península de Santa Elena (donde está Salinas). El caldo de cangrejo en la provincia de Los Ríos (Vinces, Quevedo, Babahoyo) o en el interior de Manabí (Chone, Portoviejo). No confundir con la cangrejada guayaca, que tiene otra preparación y no se consume el caldo.
Dicho por amigos de manta, guayas y esmeraldas que la mejor sazón en mariscos es en la provincia de El Oro. Obviamente que cada provincia tiene su plato estrella. Cuando vienen mis amigos de esas provincias de la costa, quieren que los lleve a Puerto Bolivar y a Puerto Jeli y siempre me repiten: fantástica la comida de mariscos de esta provincia.
For me ceviche de pescado from Ecuador it’s NOT GOOD😅 he’ll no! The good fish ceviche it’s from Peru 🇵🇪😍 but Peru doesn’t know how to do good shrimp ceviche 😅☝️ and ECUADOR have the best ceviche de camarón 🍤 of the world 🌎❤️🤩😋🤩😅 but i only like the the CEBICHES DE LA RUMIÑAHUI make shrimp ceviche and crab and concha’s negras asadas 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻 that’s the best place 🙏 but never Ortega nothing with fish in that restaurant 😅 they have no idea about fish 😅 they are pro Pro proooo With concha’s negras asadas with yuca 🥰and camarón ceviche
@@ayngelina yes 🙌🏻 please ceBiches de la rumiñahui they have a lot of those locals in Quito and Guayaquil even in. The malls but just remember never to order nothing with fish 😅 they are amazing doing shrimp 🍤 ceviche 🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍 it’s so different !! And conchas negras asadas with yuca fingers 😍 shrimps are always fresh and delicious soft juicy yummy 🤤 conchas negras I don’t know 🤷♀️.. they make it delicious delicious 🤤 the sauces they use are incredible the spices but the conch you know the clam meat it’s kind of chewy but are super Delicious 😋 because the way they cook it’s amazing 🤩
Todo es cuestión de gustos, prefiero los ceviches de ecuador, con dijo Ayngelina, aquí es ligeramente hervido el marisco, y en peru es crudo y demasiado picante. Cuido mi estómago y nunca como marisco crudo, prefiero siempre el de Ecuador.

I'm surprised more Peruvians didn't jump on this like they do my ceviche references
@@ayngelina ikr 😂
Ahhhh fresh seafood. Cannot beat that! I loveeee seafood and will pay $$$$ for the quality!
And the gigantic portion sizes!
Puerto Jeli is my favorite place to have my seafood before I to loja.
Concha asada is my favorite followed by arros marinero.
What restaurant do you go to?
@@ayngelina i have try most of them and they all good
Looks delicious. Big seafood fan here. They look like black clams. I bet they put Sherry in that chowder.
You have a keen eye. They are black clams! You'll see more of them in a Playas video coming up.

Oh México has some of my favourite food. I'd love to retire there.
Congregó Wao so good I can’t wait to eat some
It's a delicious spot

@@henryle1940 I love all seafood. I grew up on the coast in Canada.

How was your travel around the different places in Ecuador? Are there some restrictions due to Covid that may restrict your mobility? Thanks

Actually, the coastal part of Ecuador especially in Manta, their ceviche is only marinated with lime and salt, and it is DELICIOUS 😋.
Oh so they don't flash boil it in Manta?

I can't get enough of seafood! I didn't know Ecuador has better seafood than Peru. 😲
Seafood definitely tastes different depending on where you get it. I prefer cold water seafood like we have in the Atlantic to say the Caribbean.
The best shellfish and fish are from Peru, a country rich in these species. Nothing to do Ecuador.
Good video. I never liked “ceviche de concha”. Most people in Ecuador love it. Personally I like more Peruvian fish ceviche and leche de tigre, but Ecuadorian shrimp ceviche is very good.
Agreed. It's a strong flavour and I really prefer a lighter flavour with seafood... And a cold beer 😉.
My mouth was developing full amount of saliva because of the food you've eaten along the video...lol
You can't go wrong with seafood.
