Fishermen go out in the mornings and drop off the fresh catch by noon time to be prepared for early dinners and the chefs take great pride in serving fresh lobster, squid, octopus and fish.
Isla restaurants serve a wonderful mild salsa and I'd love to get the recipe. Kingsley and I decided it contains fresh tomatoes, sweet white onion, jalapeno peppers and loads of Cilantro. We're not sure what else, possibly lime juice as well. Yummy! I even ate it on omelets for breakfast.
For our main course, we ordered a whole fresh fish (selected from the catch of the day), fried the traditional Isla way. It was huge and cooked down to this golden beauty:
We kept eating until there wasn't much left. The meat was tender, juicy and light. The batter was slightly crispy, with just enough salt and seasoning. We like to add fresh lime juice on top for a kick. The meal was washed down with cold Mexican beer. Sol for Kingsley, Negra Modelo for me.
There was even a coconut stand outside the restaurant for dessert. Note the handmade tip jar with the sombrero. Haaa!
