About Jalea

Jalea is a popular dish in Peruvian cuisine, consisting of a crispy medley of deep-fried seafood such as fish, squid, shrimp, and mussels, often garnished with sliced red onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime. Served alongside fried yucca or potatoes and spicy dipping sauces, it’s a flavorful celebration of coastal ingredients. While Jalea provides a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the seafood, its deep-fried preparation adds extra calories and fat, making it indulgent rather than light. The fresh garnishes offer vitamins like vitamin C and antioxidants, adding a refreshing balance to the dish. This vibrant platter is a treat best enjoyed in moderation, ideal for seafood lovers seeking a taste of Peruvian tradition combined with bold textures and flavors.
