El Fish Fritanga

At this waterfront restaurant, both the views and the dishes dazzle. Fresh catches are the specialty here, such as a hogfish that’s prepared in a style known as tikin xic. Served whole, the fish is rubbed with a distinctive red paste made from achiato seeds, layered with tomatoes, onions and peppers, then grilled until lightly charred. “That’s dynamite,” Guy declared. Also popular are the pescadillas (aka fried tortillas), which come stuffed with a well-seasoned mixture of shark meat, tomatoes and onions.
