Cóctel de Conchas (El Salvador)
Cóctel de conchas is a seafood dish unique to Salvadoran cuisine. It is a type of shellfish cocktail that usually combines black-shelled oysters (conchas negras), chopped onions and tomatoes, coriander, and lemon or lime juice. Everything is garnished with a mixture of Worcestershire sauce (called salsa inglesa or salsa perrins in El Salvador), hot sauce, and salt.
Typical accompaniments served with the cocktail include crackers, half a lemon to squeeze extra lime juice over the cocktail, chilli and cold beer. This refreshing specialty is especially popular during the summer season and is often served in shells for better visual impact.
