Bucerias

He town of bucerias is famous for its seafood, which includes all kinds of ceviches, fish and the most traditional, oysters in their shell, for which the Oyster Festival is even held every year in April, an event organized by the Cooperativa de Pescadores y Buzos. Bucerías offers the largest oysters in the region, thanks to the special treatment given to the mollusc and the fact that the natural banks are only exploited twice a year, the rest of the year being closed.

Mexcaltitan

The cradle of Mexicanness is also the cradle of the zarandeado fish, so what else could it taste like? Well, it also tastes like fresh fish and shrimp prepared in a thousand different ways: Tixtihuil style, in tamales, roach style, or in the simplest way, sun-dried. Locals tend to taste them in a simple way: soaked in a lemon sauce with chili and to cool off, a cold beer.
