 'Grilled fish and shrimp zarandeado are on the menu at El Pargo, one of the best places to find Nayarit-style seafood during lent. ' - Photo By F. Sanchez Below are five tried and true options for Nayarit style seafood in metropolitan Guadalajara. But first, a gentle disclaimer that the Guadalajara Reporter takes no responsibility for any "digestive issues" readers may experience in the enjoyment of local seafood. Adventure at your own risk. El Pargo – 4 locations including La Paz 2140, cross street Marcella. 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. One of the best-known seafood joints in the city, El Pargo specializes in zarandeado fish and shrimp so sumptuous you could forget your meal is staring back at you. Los Arcos – Lazaro Cardenas 3549, cross street San Ignacio. 11 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays. A specialty here is "Culichi" shrimp in cream and poblano chile sauce smothered in melted cheese, a recipe the chef says comes from Culican. Happy Fish – Tepeyac and Labna, near the entrance to UNIVA. Famous with students, for their fish tacos, Happy Fish's reputation may be somewhat inflated. But a steady stream of repeat customers at this stand doesn't lie, and the crispy empanizada pieces of fish fillet represent only a fraction of their varied menu which also includes octopus and shrimp. Mariscos Enrique – Avenida Francisco Vazquez Coronado 1898, on the corner of Nuevo Mundo (one block from the Templo de Getsemani). Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This hole in the wall stays packed all weekend, especially this time of year. Shrimp a la diabla and fresh seafood cocktails are recommended. The house specialty, "filete estilo Enrique," is a white fish filet on a bed of shrimp bathed in a creamy basil sauce. Farallon de Tepic –- Niño Obrero 560, cross street Lazaro Cardenas. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day. Specialties are shrimp and fish zarandeado. |
