Food in Ecuador is very tasty and diverse. We can find traditional dishes such as encebollado (fish stew). Come with me and learn more about encebollado!
As I walked around my town, I found a resturant that specialized in Ecuador's coastal cuisine, specifically a dish named encebollado. I knew I had to try it! I had the encebollado de camaron (shrimp), calamari (squid), and pescado (fish).
As I took my first bite, I could not help but feel comforted. The warm aroma made me feel as if I were home. The shrimp was very tender and melted in my mouth. The calamari and fish were filled with the delicious spices from the soup. The mix of different seafood helped me feel full and happy!
Encebollado can basically be described as oniony fish soup. Although that may not sound very appetizing, I promise you it is. This soup is made of shrimp, calamari, tuna, yuca (cassava), tomato, pickled onions, spices and cilantro.
