Grilled Fish

J Man · 01-07-2007

Hungry for grilled fish tonight. Grouper would be good. I want the whole fish not a fillet. Any suggestions for the best grilled fish in town.

Best Fish I had all week was at La Tarraya & La Pescadore. La Tarraya was a great deal. I nice sized fish fillet w/ the La Tarraya special sauce which was grilled tomatoes & onions and spices served w/ white rice. They also brought out chips & salsa and we had two beers all for $95 pesos. Wish we would of found it earlier in the week. La Pescadore was more expensive but worth it. I had the special of the night seafood soup which was calamari, mussles, shrimp, fish and a small whole lobster all in a nice clear broth w/ grilled fresh bread soaking on 3 sides. It was absolutely wonderful. I think it was about 180 peso which is relatively cheap compared to what I would pay at home for somthing of that comparison. My husband had swordfish mediterranean. It was very good portion and pretty good but not even close to what I had ordered. We also had their mixed brushetta which included one with tuna, one w/ tomatoes and the last one had artichokes drizzled in olive oil, all very good. We also shared their grilled veges which were OK but not like I make at home. I was expecting red peppers, eggplant, zuchini, all grilled and then drizzled w/ balsamic. They were kinda cold not room temperature when we received them w/ not a lot of flaveor. I think total bill was $590 peso not including tip which is pretty good for the amount of food we got.

We love the soups in Playa. Oasis has a shrimp soup that has over a dozen large shrimp in it. Thier crab soup is very good too.

Crap soup must be a delicacy somewhere in the world

"Do you serve crabs here?"

"Certainly, sir. Have a seat".

BA-DUM-BUM!

I ended up going to El Ranchero that night because the group I was with wanted to sit on the roof with the view of Cozumel. The new hotel has changed that view a little bit. Also, the grilled fish at El Ranchero was OK, but not great. Not a lot of flavor.

I will try the other places mentioned in this thread this May when I go back down to Paradise.

We enjoyed the fish at both Bip Bip and Las Delicias (sp?).

I have seen 2 restaurants posted across from Mega that have good seafood. One is La Pescado and the other is la Pesca. Is it the same place but wrong spellings?
