Fresh Fish (Not)

Thanks for the info. It’s the only night that the preparation was steamed, but it’s definitely something I’ll be more aware of now. When the owner/chef told me it was steamed, I replied “maybe too long” and he shrugged.

I’m still wondering what I can do ahead of ordering to ascertain if the fish is caught fresh that day. I’ve tried asking and it hasn’t worked.

How about talking with one of your favorite restaurants and asking if they would prepare fish that you brought to the restaurant? Then make your way down to the Cancha at 7 am and pick up some fish that was in the ocean a few hours before.
