Buenos dias,
I know that yesterday I promised to post about my experiences in Puerto Rico. But, as I type, a subject keeps sticking on my mind.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the lack of fresh fish in Puerto Rico. Actually, let me rephrase.
I don't know any place in San German, Mayaguez, Ponce or on the South West of Puerto Rico that sells fresh fish.
Most restaurants are meat friendly, PR is a meat-eater paradise, but when I ask for fresh fish, I normally draw laughs or funny looks.
Fish, yes, we have some, let me take you to a place to buy it, I was told.
Plenty of choice, frozen choice, I had Mr Special, Pueblo and Sam's.
Hold on a minute, last time I checked, Puerto Rico was an island, right? An island is surrounded by sea, correct?
So why, is meat eaten so much? Better yet, why the lack of fresh fish and plenty of frozen?
P.S- If anyone knows a place or a market to buy fresh fish or seafood nearby, please leave your comment here. I would be delighted to know. Really craving for it now.

Hello. I think your best bet is to do a little fishing your self or go to fishing towns like Fajardo & see if you find anything sold fresh from the fisherman. Usually along the road, you wont find much in grocery stores. Believe it or not most of the caribbean gets ther seafood shipped in, which is insane. ALso there is a pescaderia in Cabo Rojo I believe.
You can try the seafood restaurants in Joyuda, Cabo Rojo.
Joyuda sucks unless you want things bathed in oil!
