Salpicón is a term used to refer to a combination of infredients mixed in a sort of salad. It literally means “hodgepodge” or “medley”. Seafood salad is, though, a combination of seafood (mussels, crab, shrimps, octopus and squids), but it usually contains other additional ingredients, such as fish (usually monkfish or hake), vegetables (onion, red and green peppers, pickles, olives…), and eggs, all dressed with a vinaigrette or simple vinegar and oil. Also, seafood salad could be served with mayonnaise or cocktail sauce. The recipe can vary to taste (you can use the ingredients you like the most), but those are the ingredients that usually compose the salad (although not all of them need to be part of the same salad). This dish is a very typical starter in Spain, especially in summer, as it is served cold.
