Tostadas Campechanas de Mariscos (Seafood Tostadas)

At the beautifully abundant Mercado Negro in Ensenada, Baja California, the clams, mussels, oysters, shrimp and fish that are for sale each day are highly sought after by locals and chefs. Almost more common than street tacos served there are these tostadas, made in stands that sell towers of fresh, raw seafood tossed with squeezed lime juice and topped with a number of different housemade salsas.

    Meanwhile, arrange avocado on each of the tops of the tostadas. Add cilantro to the seafood mixture and toss to combine. Use a slotted spoon to pile the seafood over the avocado. Drizzle with salsa macha and serve.
