Nestled on Portugal’s western coast, Porto offers us a remarkable advantage—the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. This grants us access to a wide variety of fish and shellfish swimming in the nearby waters, ensuring a bountiful selection for our ceviche creations. However, bringing the sea to your plate requires careful attention to detail and a network of trusted suppliers.
At Têntico, we prioritize building strong relationships with local fishermen who share our commitment to sustainable and responsible fishing practices. These fishermen understand the delicate balance between preserving the marine ecosystem and meeting the demand for seafood. By supporting their efforts, we ensure a constant supply of high-quality, freshly caught seafood for our valued customers.
Maintaining the freshness of our seafood is crucial, and that’s why we work closely with our suppliers to ensure a short journey from the fishing boats to our kitchen. This proximity minimizes any potential degradation in quality and allows us to serve you the finest seafood at its peak freshness.
Once the seafood arrives at our restaurant, our experienced chefs conduct a rigorous quality check. Each piece is meticulously examined for signs of freshness, ensuring that only the best specimens make it to our ceviche dishes. We have set the highest standards to guarantee an exceptional dining experience for our guests.
Our selection of seafood is truly impressive, offering a diverse range of options to cater to different preferences. While classic ceviche often features white fish such as sea bass or sole, we take it a step further by presenting an exquisite array of choices. From octopus and shrimp to scallops and squid, each variety adds its unique flavor and texture to our ceviche creations.
We understand that the success of our ceviche not only lies in the freshness of the seafood but also in the expertise of our chefs. The culinary team at Têntico possesses a deep understanding of Peruvian flavors and techniques, treating each piece of seafood with utmost care and respect.
The ceviche preparation process at Têntico begins with filleting and portioning the fish or meticulously cleaning and cooking the shellfish. Our skilled chefs then marinate the seafood in a flavorful blend of citrus juices, onions, chili peppers, and other complementary ingredients. This delicate process requires precision and attention to detail to achieve the perfect balance of flavors and textures that make our ceviche truly exceptional.
Our commitment to quality extends beyond the seafood itself. We take great pride in sourcing the freshest local produce to enhance the flavors of our ceviche. Vibrant herbs, ripe avocados, and juicy tomatoes are carefully selected to complement the seafood and create a harmonious dining experience for you.
As you savor your ceviche at Têntico, we encourage you to take a moment to appreciate the journey that each ingredient has undergone. From the depths of the ocean to the hands of skilled fishermen and finally to our talented chefs, every element has played a vital role in creating the masterpiece before you.
By prioritizing freshness and sustainability, we not only ensure an exceptional dining experience but also contribute to the preservation of the ocean’s resources. Through our conscientious sourcing practices, we strive to set an example for responsible seafood consumption within the culinary community.
