Aguachile Negro

๐Ÿ“ Los Angeles Mexican Seafood $$

at Holbox

"Holbox's aguachile negro is the version that made this restaurant famous โ€” shrimp in a blackened squid ink and chili lime broth. The color is extraordinary โ€” black and deep โ€” and the flavor is oceanic, spicy, and acid-forward. The chili lime broth is the constant; the squid ink transforms it into something that looks and tastes like the ocean at night."
