Letty's & Chendo's serve a great mahi-mahi, lightly breaded & stuffed w/shrimp. Looking for ideas of other restaurants that may have similar offering. Lightly breaded, stuffed w/shrimp, cheese, etc.
OR
char-grilled w/shrimp and cheese. Last year while in area, tried another restaurant and the fish seemed to be steamed in foil (fish was actually served in the foil). Fish was watery and mushy. Would not recommend. Where, somehwere along the front by the pier. Have a hard time remembering the names of the places.

More than likely, salmon served in Zihua is Chilean, i.e. farm raised. Avoid it and stick with locally caught fish.

Red snapper is better than dorado any day!

Not to split hairs, but it's not really Red Snapper! Red Snapper is a northern fish which has been fished almost to extinction. Commonly called Yellow Eye!

Actually, 'red snapper' of the northern Pacific is a misnomer for one of the various species of rockfish (e.g. vermillion rockfish, china rockfish, yellow-eyed rockfish). Huanchinango is the red snapper found in the warmer Pacific waters of Mexico. And, just to make matters worse, there is also a species of red snapper found on the Gulf of Mexico coast.

Shrimp is not caught by local fishermen, and only Kau-Kan has their own shrimp farm, so it is not something I would recommend if you're looking for fresh seafood.

The dorado empapelado that you said was all watery (I call it juicy) is one of my favorite dishes and one of the very best ways to prepare dorado so that it preserves everything tasty and nutritious about the fish. I usually order dorado empapelado encebollado (smothered in onions), a recipe I fell in love with when I lived in St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It's how we would cook our fresh catch in the sand on a moonlit cruise to Buck Island.

If you know how you want your fish prepared, then pretty well any restaurant can cook it for you any way you like. Daniel's, Rufo's, La Porteña, Pizzas Locas, and El Arrayan are all places that specialize in grilled foods.

Breaded = empanizado
Grilled = a la parrilla
Stuffed = relleno

Friends of mine there now and fishing, have come across large commercial fishing boats netting these and anything else that happens to be in the area. Indiscriminate fishing like this will not only destroy the local fishery, but this is KILLING PORPOISE. What is the local or federal authorities doing to stop this? These vessels are within 10 miles of the coast. Haven't been able to find what countries flag these plunderers of the sea are under. If I were a local, I'd be slashing these nets. :-(

Probably fishermen from Mazatlán. It's what they do. Have only seen shrimpers and they leave a trail of dead turtles behind them all up and down the coast. Haven't heard any reports of dead porpoises or anyone complaining about atuneros.

Authorities? We have authorities? I thought it was every man for himself.

Soon the Sector Naval will be taking control of the Capitanía and from there hopefully other federal dependencies such as Conapesca will establish a more effective presence and with a more functional budget than they have historically had here.

True Rob. Watched them off the coast near San Pancho, Nayarit on their way south. Found dead turtles the next day

A friend of mine who is a reporter went out today to see the atuneros so I expect there will be an article in one of the newspapers tomorrow or soon on the subject.

Excuse me Mudalake. You wouldn't want to put money on it would you. I have seen the video. So put a lid on it and get a clue yourself on your own reality. :jeer:

Get the video posted HERE then. OR email your source and I will meet them anywhere here to see Dolphins being killed.......That is what you said correct? Just to be correct AS WELL you were close enough to see Dolphins being killed but could not see the boat name or country flag.

I AM CALLING BS.

Why is it you can't have a simple civil conversation? As far as I know Dave's right. No dolphins have washed up dead along our shores. Only turtles. The atuneros were politely but firmly invited by representatives of 2 of our local fishing co-ops to fish elsewhere and they finally left local coastal waters. Turns out they were from Manzanillo. Colima.

I believe I was having a civil conversation. I feel insulted by his comment. Like I said, I have seen the video from my friends FB page. If I knew how to post it from FB I would. I'll ask my buddy to give me more detail as to what he was seeing that day and get back to you. I doubt he is lying. Why would he?
I think it's obvious that when a vessel sweeping a net around a school of tuna, there is going to be bycatch. And with bycatch there is mortality.

PESCADORES DE ZIHUATANEJO NUEVAMENTE AHUYENTAN A BARCOS ATUNEROS DE LITORAL DE GUERRERO
Por LUVOS AMARO

Zihuatanejo Gro 13 febrero 2017.- El presidente de la Sociedad Cooperativa Isla de Ixtapa, Daniel Pérez Arellano encabezó este lunes en compañía de un grupo de pescadores de la cooperativa Atarrayeros, una nueva protesta en contra de los barcos atuneros que desde hace una semana están capturando los cardúmenes de atunes, lo cual afecta la pesca ribereña y comercial, sin embargo los capitanes reconocen que tiene un acuerdo verbal con la Conapesca, para los lances de sus redes hasta 5 millas de la orilla.

Pérez Arellano, confirmó vía telefónica que este lunes nuevamente salieron una docena de hombres del mar en sus respectivas embarcaciones, para realizar un nuevo movimiento pacifico y de dialogo que finalmente se tuvo con los capitanes de las navíos Guaymas y El Nair II, en el sentido de que se alejaran de la costa, debido a las afectaciones que dejan desde el litoral de Lázaro Cárdenas hasta Tecpan de Galeana.

Las afectaciones estas embarcaciones son muy recurrentes debido a que cuando realizan sus actividades, depredan todo tipo de especies marinas, que ya han sido denunciadas directamente al Comisionado de Pesca, ya que a pesar de los acuerdos de mantener mayor vigilancia entre CONAPESCA e INAPESCA, los barcos atuneros, con acuerdos debajo de la mesa continúan operando en los litorales debido a que para las autoridades federales en esta zona no existe pesca de altura.

Nothing new here.............public information already known. Yes the boats here will defend their sport fishing waters. But you have to understand it is a verbal agreement.
