panama = fresh fruit and great fish.

The fish below is Sea Bass in English. This stuff is amazing, and makes a wonderful snack, especially prepared like "Ceviche" on crackers. Grab some fish from your local market and enjoy it with me! Click the link below, seems super easy, super tasty!http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/238/Panamanian_Ceviche11581.shtml
I could have spent hours at this market just looking at everything and talking with the vendors. Luckily our trip to "El Mercado de Mariscos" last Sat. didn't smell thanks to my stuffed nose!


Close to the fish market is this fruit/vegetable market, with many street vendors and other shops in between. We concluded that a trip to the market to stock up on this fresh stuff is more economical and fun! The grocery stores by the appartment buy from these vendors, why shouldn't we :) Thought these pics might be a fun window into Panama life.

Look at me, commenting on your blog! That recipe *does* look tasty; I think we might even try it. I've seen recipes before where the juice "cooks" the fish, but I've been hesitant to try...

They all look amazing. :) Wish you have a wonderful time there and I will see you next year in school. Take care Trish! Happy everyday. ^.^ -Jocelyn

Hi Trish, I am imagining being at the market with you, and enjoying all the colourful fruits and veggies, but not so much enjoying the fish smell. Are you saying the fish in that lime juice recipe is cooked by the juice? How does that work, anyway? I'm skeptical. Love, Mom
