The paiche is one of the largest fish in the Amazon River, which is eaten in ceviche, and also dried salty. The patarashka made of gamitana, catfish and other types or sweated fish.
Culinary Influence and Fusion
Within Peru, as I said, there are five diverse culinary regions. Oceania, European (spanish, Italian, French and Deutchland), African and Asian ethnicity is present in the style and dishes typical to each of the regions.
The first fusion was Spanish cuisine, due 300 years of viceroyalty. This gave rise to the fusion of local ingredients with European recipes and in many cases new ones were created from those that came from the old continent.
The second fusion with Italian cuisine, since independence, the country received many people from different Europes countries like Italy, Frace, England and Deutchland. But the more important was Italy on the beginning. Dishes like red spaguetti, green spaguetti, menestron, rissotto, patita, pizza, fugasa and others was assimilated and become part of Peruvian cuisine.
