Catch of the Day! ~ Mahi Mahi

While out running some errands in Jaco we had some time to kill before we could complete our chores so we took a ride north in search of something new and interesting.  Riding around on the wonderful dirt pot hole filled  roads in Costa Rica can stir up an appetite and we just happen to be near La Fiesta Del Marisco so we decided to stop and have some ceviche and enjoy the cool ocean breezes off the water. 

This open air restaurant overlooks the entrance into the Nicoya Gulf and there is always several fishing boats anchored out in the water or beached on shore.

While we were enjoying some ceviche and fish sopa de pescado a boat pulled in and they started unloading his catch of the day. And a great catch he had! We were amazed at the number of fish that they flung into the large plastic crates and toted up to the pescaderia. We think the final count was about 10 crates and the majority of the catch was big beautiful Mahi Mahi! 

 

And of course I could not resist going around to see where they were taking this fisherman's proud deposit.  Once they got the fish inside they were rinsing them down on the floor and loading them into large coolers.

 

The moral of the story is.......

THE FISH ARE BITING!

So all you fisherman start making your plans to come to beautiful 

Costa Rica and try your rod at this fine sport!
