I think I may understand the bad vibe thing... my wife is not fond of the place, but mostly because she thinks of it as a fishing place (she is not a big fish eater). I think of it as a history place.

I have found the people I interact with very friendly, however... the late China ('chee-nah') of the taco stand, the Diaz family (Chubasco at Casa Diaz and Sammy at the tire shop), Bety at Campo Archelon, and of course Doc at Camp Gecko... all very kind and hospitable.

I think the only negative experience was with Victoria at Costa del Sol over the 'scallop' (squid) dinner I got... She makes great soup, however! It still is the hotel I first recommend to those needing one (original rooms, not new addition).

Hi Steve, yes I think 'calamari' is Italian for squid, too?
How are you?
Been many years since those great Camp Gecko days!

Maybe you both missed my humor or dinner problem I had?
Scallops were on the menu, I even asked Victoria if they were fresh scallops.
My plate arrived with calamari on it. Victoria insisted they were scallops... but knew they weren't as much as I did. Her soup was delicious as always... I left and went to China's for fish tacos!

i suspect that they served you callo de hacha which is translated as scallop. it does not look like traditional scallop that gringos know, and it sort of looks like squid meat (and may be as chewy as squid; callo de hacha is not as tender as typical scallop meat you are familiar with).




Woke!

well, scallop and squid are all molluscs -- so similar overall biology

scallop is the typical translation for callo de hacha. callo de hacha is a pen clam, not a true scallop.

Way back I did hear of restaurants using chunks of Stingray wings punched out in circles and served as scallops .

There was a study done that showed that a big amount of fish served in restaurants was NOT what on the menu. Especially Red Snapper




Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

locals call callo de hacha "scallop." when callo de hacha is breaded and sauted, it is easily mistaken for squid, which is just what DK did.

One of my favorite Cantonese dishes is Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. Where I grew up (Farmingdale, NY - a Long Island suburb of NYC), there wasn't a hint of lobster to be found. The "lobster" meat was ground pork. I don't know what the sauce was, but over white rice - with plenty of hot mustard - it was quite the treat.

I'd feel very differently about squid or calamari being passed off as scallops, since I like the latter but don't care for either of the former.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the original post, but sadly there have been no new developments on that front.

No you Buffon…


Did you mean to call me Buffon or buffoon? Is either an insult? For a self-appointed spelling policeman, you really should run spell check before you post!
