Hi all,
Just wondering if there are places where one could buy fresh fish right from the fisherman in the Colonet area (and south). My Wife and I are moving
into the area some 14 km east of Rancho Meling so I'm starting to think about where we will buy our provisions! Being a farming area there must also
be market days too!
thanks
Mike

I don't know Colonet specifically though most fisherman work in cooperatives which do not allow them to sell fish individually on the beach, there are
also seasonal restrictions. Though they can gift you a fish and perhaps you might gift them something especially something they need like fresh fruits
or drinks. So watch how you approach it and the results will vary, but normally the answer to "can you sell me a fish" is no. You might also find an
independent fisherman, their boats would probably look like a sport boat different than the typical commercial panga.
