Desperately seeking crab dishes in Zihua

la Jaiba esta contento porque no esta en el menu!!!

Honestly, living here, periodically we see little tiny, maybe 2 to 3 inch (sorry Rob) crabs available on the street. That is about it. Crabs aren't a thing here.

If you have cooking facilities, go to PKS and see what they have. This is a fish place, you can buy other things, but crab isn't really a thing.

Maybe see if there is an online menu for El Tiburon.

Wish we could help....

Greetings, Fellow Zihua Lovers! After having exhausted all feeble online attempts at finding a restaurant in Zihuatanejo that serves crab, I come humbly asking if anyone is familiar with any restaurants in Zihuatanejo that have crab dishes. Also, do any pescadores offer crabbing outings. The reason I ask is that I will have my brother in tow on this visit to my favorite place in the Universe and he is a very picky eater. We already have Lety's on the agenda for coconut shrimp. It is not easy to find the menu for restaurants unless you allow yourself to have a Faceplant account which is something that will not happen in this household.

Also, other than what I have read on this forum, I have no knowledge of boat tours in Zihua other than the occasional lancha trip back from Las Gatas when I am too tired to make the hike back to La Ropa. I get seasick in a bathtub. My brother, on the other hand, likes to go crabbing. One time, in Barra de Potosi, I witnessed many locals with nets at the mouth of the lagoon. Hundreds of crabs, mostly very small, were literally floating toward the ocean at various depths. The locals were scooping them up with their nets. It was kinda' surreal. I didn't ask but I figured that the crabs were going to be the main features of that night's meals. They were kinda' small so you would have to work pretty hard just to get a mouthful or two of crab meat.

Looking so forward to seeing Zihua again soon. Please do something about the cold water before we get there, okay? Thanks.

P.S. I immediately thought of La Jaiba Feliz but it appears that they don't have crab on the menu. Kinda' bizarre, huh?

Crab isn't much of a local dish. You're going against the flow. I recommend sticking with local seafood. There's lots of fresh tuna and pargo right now.
