Tikin Xic, pronounced "teekeen sheek" in Yucatec Mayan and meaning "dry fin" (making reference to the way the fish is prepared in a butterfly cut) is a fish dish prepared in the Yucatan style. [1]
The fish is prepared whole then marinated with adobo de achiote[2] and sour oranges then wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked in an earth oven beneath a wood fire.
