Instructions
Step 1
Light a grill. Transfer corn to grill; cook, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cut corn from husks and cool.
Step 2
Heat about 4-inches oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches a 375°. Fry potatoes in small batches until they are crisp and golden, about 3 minutes per batch. Drain chips on paper towels, sprinkle with salt.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the lime juice, passion fruit pulp, honey, aji amarillo, chilis, salt, and pepper. Add the fish and toss to coat. Leave for 5 minutes, then toss with the corn, scallions, and tomatoes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the potato chips.
