Loreto Yellowtail + Restaurant report
its yellowtail season again here in Loreto, MX, the bite is HOT right now, loaded up the boat with beer and headed out to make bait at sunrise
sabiki'd up some mackerel and headed to the fishing grounds
dropped the macks to the bottom, ~200ft, and started drifting, after about 20 minutes we were hooked up, my buddy and his chick lost 2 fish, and then
I got hooked up, after about a 20 minute fight, I landed my feesh, a nice ~25 pounder! This is a yellowtail amberjack, aka jurel in spanish, aka
hamachi in japanese
headed over to the beach to have a few brewskis before going back to the marina
back at the marina we cleaned up the fish and headed over to my favorite restaurant here in town, Buena Vida, the chef is incredible, he just won 1st
place in a sashimi compeition down in Los Cabos last week, Chef Leonardo prepared the fish in a few different styles, sashimi, red and green
aguachile, and 2 styles of ceviche as well, everything was plated beautifully and tasted amazing, World Class meal!
the chef with his famous sashimi
ceviche yucateco
sashimi
chicas with the spread
we ate till we were stuffed and still had plenty of leftovers
Price for this custom cooked meal for 6? $40 USD
Viva mexico!

Your photos are very clear for me, but very slow to download on the marginal WIFI connection I am using right now. I'm jealous!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Congratulations on adapting to Loreto so well and fast! We never did touch base with you last fall and winter but will be returning soon and we can
get together then.
Just one question, if I am not mistaken, that looks like Tecate and Corona beer. What are you thinking?

What fishing is about. Catch a fish, have a few cold ones with friends, Sustainable. Bravo.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.
