A fresh, spicy, and aromatic marinade for fish, seafood, or even vegetables. Just thinly slice them and marinate in this sauce to create different, versatile, and fresh dishes, as shown in the fish tiradito recipe.

Add the tucupi and blend on high speed until smooth. Add a little bit of water if the taste is too strong or too spicy
