Fishing Village in Gorgona Panama
|
 |
| Locals buying fish |
There is a small fishing village just a walk down the beach from our house. We've ventured out there a couple times to buy fresh seafood. Local fishermen stay out all night in their pangas, working hard on bringing in the fresh catch for morning customers, who are mostly local panamanians. You can see many of them walking to and from the market, returning with their daily ingredients.

The fishing village is setup as a co-op and seems to be co-sponsored by the taiwanese government (not sure what the deal is there but suspect that taiwan needs to be friendly with panama if they expect to continue to fish the waters here)

| Restaurant Menu |
There are also several rustic mini restaurants adjacent to the co-op where during lunchtime you can try your luck with one of the local favorites such as panamanian fish soup, lobster, and fish tacos. Anyway - for about $2 you can get a whole corvina or dorado (mahimahi), or they will filet it on-site for an extra buck. The local cat's love it!
