Sere de pescado

Sere de pescado is a traditional dish originating from Quintana Roo. The dish is usually made with a combination of grouper fillets, achiote, garlic, tomatoes, onions, plantains, coconut milk, hot peppers, and oil. The garlic and achiote paste are boiled in water and removed from the heat. The tomatoes and onions are processed into a paste, strained, and sautéed in oil. The plantains are boiled until soft and mixed with hot peppers, coconut milk, and tomato paste. The fish is placed in a pan with the sauce on top, and the dish is then simmered until the fish flakes apart easily. Sere de pescado is traditionally served with white rice on the side.
