Seafood prices
Hello all. I've been down here for a couple months and am curious what kind of prices people are paying for the seafood bought off the fishermen that
sell it right from their boat or on the beach? Stuff like Octopus, lobster, crab shrimp and clams? I've never bought this way and am curious what fair
prices would be.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Cheers.

If it's too cheap to believe, it's spot on. Last shrimp I bought a few weeks ago were 250 pesos per kilo, very fresh and very large with no heads. A
kilo of scallops right out of the water last week in Bahia Conception was 350 pesos a kilo.
Where you are may make a bit of a difference tho.

Just a hint of what to buy, not the price of...... when buying scallops (acha or ancha, not catalinas) ask for "talones" rather than the 'puros'
(musculos).
I used to order them from Bertha herself at the Coyote store on Concepcion, or the divers I knew that harvested. You'll never go back to the big fat
round ones again.

Much more variability in shellfish prices depending on availability and location
