Food 3: Sunday Fish

Sunday is fish day at my local fritanga (restaurant) and I was up at 5.30 this morning to accompany my new friend Roberto, the owner, and his son Eduardo to go by fish.

A few hours later said fish was well fried and served up with all the trimmings (rice tortillas, salad) and formed a truly good meal.

Lunch is served in the family’s front room which on Sunday doubles as a restaurant. What made today’s meal slightly more eventful was that prior to serving Roberto asked his son to put on a DVD to entertain the lunchtime customers. The DVD chosen was Cock Fighting (still popular here), blood, feathers and all, overplayed with bad Mexican ranchero music. Not my first choice of lunch time entertainment but the other guests and children seemed to enjoy the spectacle!
