I Bet You Gonna Ambush Me, Barracuda

Among the several tasty dinners I had in Curacao, the fish grill at the Mambo Beach restaurant was particularly good. My respected associates and I feasted on fishes, and no course was spared. Rather than say too much, I invite you to linger over the photos. Enjoy.


The menu, caught that day and served by the 100-gram chunk.



The barracuda, of course, was at the top of my list. What else?


Potatoes, cole slaw, mackerel, snapper, and a big hunk of meaty barracuda. Your services won't be needed today, tartar sauce.

Who likes fish? These guys!

Dessert: Vanilla ice cream dressed with caramel and toasted nuts.

Drink: coffee with Bailey's. I gently escorted the whipped cream to my ice cream, where it belonged.

The dinner wrapped up very nicely my first week on the island. I thought the restaurant was very accommodating, letting our group eat in board shorts and t-shirts. Being on the beach, they're willing to put up with some sandy toes...
