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.

Another great seafood place with a view of the Caribbean is El Roble in Salinas. This is one of those places you absolutely must try while in Puerto Rico. They have been around for over 60 years, and their experience shines through with each delicious plate. They are known for some of the freshest seafood anywhere, particularly the lobster and crab, and the tostones made from fresh green plantains are superb.

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.

Puerto Rico is where women wear the highest heels in the entire U.S, study finds

And the winner is – drum roll – Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico claims the top spot in a survey of United States and its territories seeking where women wore the highest heels. Puerto Rico came in with an average of 2.86 inch heels, with Nevada, Florida, Arkansas and Texas following the island. The survey, titled “Stilettos by State,” was conducted by Gilt , an online shopping site, in effort to see whether fashion tastes varied by location. Nebraska, Kansas and Maine were home to women preferring the shortest heels, just under 1.97 inches. The Gilt survey did not look at boots and ballet flats. High heel averages in states near the top of the list were 2.46 inches in Florida, 2.35 inches in Texas, and 2.25 inches in California. Theories abounded in published reports about the variety of taste in heels. They included drawing a link between a preference for high heels and warm weather, and low heels and rural areas. Another publication drew a parallel between high heels and places whe
