The Best Places for Seafood in Puerto Rico

Small fishing villages and family-run fishing businesses are still abundant in Puerto Rico, so it’s a perfect place to visit if you want fresh seafood. Restaurants all over the island, from small roadside stands to large gourmet restaurants, offer dishes such as red snapper, shrimp, octopus, dorado (mahi mahi) and chapin. Visit Puerto Rico and try some of these mouthwatering seafood restaurants.
La Pescadería
La Pescadería in Humacao is a great place for a relaxing lunch or dinner with drinks. Feel the ocean breeze as you sit on their cozy deck and gaze at the water, or go inside and beat the heat in their air conditioned dining room. Try the catch of the day or munch away on some fish tacos with mango salsa.

Salitre Mesón Costera
Located on the northern coast of the island near the village of Arecibo, the outdoor seating of Salitre Mesón Costera is literally steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Try the smokey grilled octopus as a starter, then enjoy one of their amazing fish and seafood dishes. The black paella is a little odd in appearance, but incredible in flavor. Also try any dish with ceti when it’s in season – a small transparent and very tasty fish.

Kellogg's signs on with DreamWorks

Image
Dreamworks, the movie studio headed by Steven Spielberg and other big media moguls, Television has signed cereal and snacks maker Kellogg's to create treats and goodies based on its movies. Under the agreement Kellogg's gets exclusive rights to make cereals and other tasty breakfast foods based on Dreamworks movies including Shrek 3 and Madagascar 2. Kellogg's will be responsible for promoting the foods, and therefore the movies, via in-store, TV and online ads. Kellogg's is just four years into what was supposed to be a 15-year agreement to do just this kind of thing for Disney but that deal's fate is now uncertain. Kellogg's is unlikely to create product for two movies from competing studios, after all. Sales of the Disney movie-themed snacks were moderate at best.
