I cook for a living and using frozen fish makes me cringe... What I am told is that because of the short shelf life of fish they freeze it right as it comes off the boat or event at sea. You need to catch the boats right when they come back from fishing. That all being said, I have never been disappointed with the frozen fish that has been available.

We spent most of our time on the more secluded beaches so we didn't hit a lot of the roadside stands. We just stopped at one spot picked up our bag of empanadas and hit the beach. It was heaven. We would get dinner out and because we had a kitchen at out place (Hix Island House) I cooked with the leftovers. Steak and eggs with local coffee, mangoes and bread. We went to the local stores, bought chorizo and made saffron shrimp fajitas. Pretty much one of best weeks of out lives. Daniel and I spent our honeymoon in Vieques.
