Fresh Catch!
Fresh Fish from Playa Punta Lobos
“Fresh Catch” takes on new meaning in Todos Santos! Bypass the middleman fish markets in town by heading straight to the beach to buy fish directly from the local fishermen. Find a spot on the sand and watch the panga boats land on the shore with their fresh catch – fish that was literally swimming only hours before. Chat with the fishermen, choose your fish, and have them fillet it for you on the spot. With a wonderful variety, from Yellowtail and Red Snapper to Grouper and Tuna, it is easy to make a delicious dish! Here’s one of our favorite ceviche recipes.
