I’ve never been an enormous seafood fan, but recent trips here have grown my appreciation for it. We discovered the market in Guaymas last year and along with it, good fresh food.
On Friday, we picked up a couple kilos of shrimp and a kilo of scallops. The shrimp I love, but I wasn’t so sure about the scallops. I wasn’t aware scallops were caught in the area. The guy selling them prepared one raw with salt, salsa, and lemon. It was incredibly good and was enough to persuade me to by a kilo of those as well.
That’s a lot of seafood. The dogs are fans too. Yesterday Scout was found catching a fairly decent size entity from the sea. We also found a number of small sardine looking fish which were caught by hand that the dogs inhaled.
The market has a section for butchers. Last time we were there we were given some enormous bones for the dogs at no charge. They chewed on them for months and we actually still have them back at home. This time we paid 10 pesos (roughly a dollar) for 10 bones that had a good amount of meat on them. This sort of thing would run about $5 each back home. What a deal.
It almost looked like it was going to rain last night. It probably did out at sea just off the coast. It was beautiful and the temperature came down a bit (it has been extremely hot). This helped build our appetites for a nice dinner at Bonifacio’s in San Carlos. The food was exceptional and this place remains our favorite.
