Boquinete


Known as the hogfish in the U.S., this exquisite fish is caught, oh no, not by using a pole or a net, but only by spearing it!  Divers must go down, find it, spear it, and bring it back up to the waiting diners.  This is Matt's favorite fish by far...it always puts a smile on his face to devour the entire fish...and he goes on the endless quest to find the perfect pescado al mojo de ajo (fish in a garlic white sauce).  I found a great resource for seafood in the Yucatan from Yucatan Today--thanks to them for this!

And here is Matt with his favorite dish--check out the look on his face!!

    Właśnie usmażyłam sobie taką rybkę przed chwilą. Najsmaczniejsza meksykańska ryba jaką jadłam. Popieram zachwyt!
