Vince's Fish Market and Restaurant
In Rosarito, close to the Rosarito Beach Hotel. It is on the same (ocean) side of the street, a very rustic looking two-story building and you enter
by walking across a bridge over the fish pond.
Order the lobster "al vapor" which means steamed. They will be sweet and delicious.
We had lunch there last week and the lobster was wonderful.

I've seen a lot of people sit down to a table that had spiny lobster and go into long discussions about which tastes better -- Pacific or Atlantic
lobster.
While they argue I eat theirs.

Thanks to all..I will pass this on.....as for the half way house they don't ever seem to have much business. I remember that place being just about
the only place between Rosartio and Ensenada in the old days to eat. Had lot's of great times there on surf trips back in the day....

Stayed at Los Gaviotis Rosartio recently, a guy we talked to
went to P Nuevo, about 1 1/2 mi. so of Gaviotis,
said he bought 20 lobsters for $40 dollars, needless
to say he said they were small? Season, size limit,
not sure that is adhered to, I think some stuff is
flown in from Cedros Isle

Most of it comes from Chile in the off-season. (The lobsters look like they have green chicken pox.

Original Splash just 10.5 miles from Las Gaviotas by far the better place to eat lobster. Have had it there about 6 times and never disappointed and
since it is only $19 dollars for 20 ounces of lobster you may get three or four tails depends on weight. Then you get rice, beans, tortillas of corn
or flour your choice. The chips and salsa are great too while you wait, may I also suggest a bowl of clam chowder or lobster bisque both are soooooo
good. I have tried all of the others mentioned here but my choice is Splash.
Now, you got me hungry Terry for lobster,LOL. See you next year as I move back into the States October 1st before heading back in May next year to

3-4 tails at 20 oz total weight are certainly undersized and aren't healthy to the fishery, where ever it is. I would ask for one 20 oz. tail or eat
something else. Just my 2 cents.
