Call around noon to confirm they have lobster for the day, since the fishermen go out every morning. The lobsters were huge, at $11/lb - we should have gotten 2ppl/lobster - way too much lobster otherwise. Honestly, nothing beats Maine lobster; Caribbean lobster needs to be smoky grilled to mask some of the "silty" favor. Even with lots butter & lemon, they just don't hold a candle to ME lobster. It was still fun dish to try.

NAME: Pescaderia Paola MY RATING: Excellent SIZE: ~15 x 30 ft. room and ~15 x 20 ft. room TITLE: "Fresh Seafood" [Yelp, my review #283, 19 December 2014] TELEPHONE: (787) 834-1358 WEB PAGE: http://www.lapulguilla.com/pescaderiapaola E-MAIL: karenyrichard2003@yahoo.com OWNER: cell phone (787) 210-1583 LOCALITY: 5178 PR-64, Bario Mani, Mayagüez, Puerto Rico 00680 LATITUDE, LONGITUDE: 18°14'47.3"N, 67°10'28.0"W DIFFICULTY LOCATING: easy DIRECTIONS: This shop is on the northern edge of Mayagüez near the coast. From the north on PR-2, pass the airport turn off on the left and turn right onto PR-64 to the west at the next traffic light. From the south, pass the entrance to the Western Plaza on your left and take a left onto PR-64 at the next traffic light. Continue on this road until it makes a big turn to the south (left). In the middle of this turn you will see their shack and sign on the left side of the road. There is a median; therefore, you must do a U-turn at the next opening. PARKING: There are 1 or 2 parking places on the cement in front. OCCASION: We wanted fresh fish for a party and they had chillo (Queen Snapper [A]). They did not have chapin (trunkfish [B]) or Capitán (Hogfish [C]), but have them sometimes. AIR CONDITIONED: open air without screens HOURS OF OPERATION: 7 am-5 pm Monday-Saturday, 7 am-3 pm Sunday TYPE: Fresh and frozen local seafood. LAYOUT: Open-air wooden shack with ~15 x 30 ft. room and ~15 x 20 ft. room containing 8 long, large freezers. DÉCOR: Nice fish figures on walls. RECOMMENDATIONS: CUSTOMERS: (I) You will need to know the local names of fishes (http://caribbeanfmc.com/reports-sci-docs/FISH%20COMMON%20NAMES.pdf) and at least rudimentary Spanish. (II) You can call ahead to see what they have fresh and frozen. MANAGER/OWNER: The laws concerning the responsibility of the retailers of seafood in Puerto Rico are about to change [1]. ENVIROMENTAL: We commented about some of the species for sale [2]. I will not say which ones. The operator said that was the responsibility of the fishermen, not the retailers [1]. FOOTNOTES: [1] Many laws concerning local seafood are apparently about to change and may place more responsibility on the retailers. [2] In purchasing any seafood these days you must know the local conditions and local species to be aware what may be potentially dangerous, endangered, good, or bad. What they were selling was really none of our business; caveat emptor. SPECIES LIST [A] "Chillo" just means "snapper," but these were Vermilion Snapper, Rhomboplites aurorubens, is a good food fish found in moderately deep (40-100 m usually) waters. [B] Trunkfish is our favorite fish. It has a delicate flavor and semi-firm, white flesh. These fishes must be prepared carefully as they have a very toxic skin. [C] Hogfish, Lachnolamias maximus, is large, firm, white-fleshed, and delicious. Often called "Hog Snapper," but it is a wrasse. It is seldom caught by hook-and-line or trap, but usually speared.

At G&D, you can either order fresh seafood to take home or dine in. We chose to sit down and enjoy a meal. We started with two drinks: Passion Fruit and Tamarind Passion Fruit. Both were refreshing, but I personally preferred the Tamarind blend. For our meal, we ordered the Stuffed Lobster and Shrimp--beautifully plated, as you can see below. I had the shrimp, and it definitely hit the spot. My cousin enjoyed the lobster and said it was just as flavorful. The pricing was fair for the portion and quality. The atmosphere was welcoming, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. You can also get a feel for the vibe from the photo of the restaurant's interior below. Will I return? Yes, I would--but next time, I'll try something different on the menu!

The Fish Market sits on the beach at the bottom of the Elysian Hotel. While you can walk there, it's a long, winding road through the hotel grounds. While I want to say we were met with a warm island welcome, instead, we were met by a grouchy young lady who seemed less than happy to be working or enjoying her day. On a positive note, our waitress, Kieke, was delightful and sweet and a complete opposite from the hostess. As for the food, let me be honest when I say it was one of the top two seafood meals I've had in my life. I got the crab-stuffed grouper with broccolini and couscous. It was cooked perfectly and had a sauce that was delicious! At the end of the day, this was a great experience, and if you can get down to the restaurant (which is a hike), you will absolutely enjoy the meal and ask for Kieke and ignore the rude hostess.

Both were really good; the nachos were super fresh and flavorful with a nice mix of textures, and the scramble was light but still filling with plenty of veggies. Definitely felt like a good, balanced brunch option. The service was great, friendly, attentive, and everything came out at a good pace. The only thing that wasn't my favorite was the Bloody Mary. It had a pretty strong horseradish kick, which just isn't my thing, but if you like that extra spice you'd probably enjoy it. Overall, great food, beautiful setting, and a solid brunch spot. I'd absolutely come back (and probably stick to mimosas next time!).
