FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Pacific catches are available year-round: dorado (mahi-mahi), pargo (red snapper), atún (yellowfin tuna), corvina (sea bass), and seasonal marlin. Ask what came in that morning — beachfront restaurants often buy directly from local boats. Ceviche should always be made from fish caught within 24 hours.
