Buying fresh fish
Coming to Z again in a couple of weeks. I have purchased fish at the Central Mercado before that I assumed was fresh. Seemed good to me. But is it better to buy from the fishermen directly on the beach? If so, what time is good to go there? And how do they price the fish? Thanks in advance.

Best bet is to buy your fish on the beach, EARLY!!!
I may catch flack for this, but we have commitments every morning-dogs, paddling...... So, we usually buy our fish from the guy that is at the second street corner behind the mercado.
Thursday, we asked him if he ever got tuna. He said, yes, and he'd have it Friday in the morning for 100p a kilo. Got up early, did the dogs, paddled, got to town at 9. He still had about 50k of loins left. We bought 3 kilos, and it's spectacular!!!!!
Wish we had room for more.

Great question Mark, I too have always wondered what the fresh fish prices were down at the fishermen's market on the beach. I have seen the Red Snapper they bring in and have always wanted to buy some. I would much rather catch my own, but we have never caught one when fishing. One of the best meals we have had in Zih was Red Snapper cooked for us over at Las Gatas beach. Only 24 more days, can't wait. Kurt

Made me think of my first trip in '03, I got a honkin' great sierra for 3 bucks on the beach, I was so excited that I was half way back to Madera before I realized that I had left my camera sitting on the stall. Thankfully it was a cheap little point n shoot...
