One thing you can do in our beach town, is buy fish fresh from the ocean.
Reyn, Blaise and I did just that the other day.
You can get a sense of what that is like, by watching our video of the event.
You can find out more about Puerto Armuelles here.
Fish Goals
We had fun, and bought a couple of different kinds of fish. Although, we were hoping to find a tuna that day, but no luck.
We love tuna, but it isn’t popular here. Which is great for us. It is not popular so they sell it for only 60 cents a pound. Lightly seared and served with wasabi it is delectable.
Maybe next time they will have some tuna.
Where do you buy your fish in Panama?
We like to buy it off the boats. But people will walk or bike around with fish for sale.
We are alittle leary of buying non-iced seafood.
How To Tell If A Fish Is Fresh
But if you go that route, here is a video that explains how to tell if a fish is fresh.
It is done by one of the YouTubers my daughter Blaise likes, Bart’s Fish Tales. He also has alot of receipes for seafood of all sorts.

Great post. Can’t wait, as I’ve been living in a landlocked state for 20 years; the last five of them with a vegetarian! God I miss seafood! The fishermen and I are going to get along great! Janine
Hi Janine! I am glad you liked the post. The wonderful thing is that they often have Red Snapper (Pargo in Spanish). I love snapper, and can never seem to find it on the west coast of the States anymore. You can see the fishermen come from Corazon de Oro. I think you are going to enjoy that.
