Area
North coast
Duration
1–2 h

This is Margarita’s default lunch and it cannot be improved on: whole fish of the day fried until the skin cracks, green plantain tostones, rice and shredded salad. You eat at a plastic table under a palm-frond roof with the sea five metres away. In the fishing villages the fish came in that morning, on the boat in front of you.

Details being confirmed. We are finalising this card with the local operators before publishing it in full.
