It’s no secret that the Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta have both been widely recognized for their ample offer of exquisite culinary experiences and world-class gastronomy. Truth be told, if there’s one thing that Mexico’s pacific coast is famous for, it’s seafood. The offer of deliciously refreshing seafood dishes continues to bring joy foodies and seafood lovers while they enjoy their time on the beach in one of Mexico’s favorite vacation and retirement destinations.

Below are 5 unique seafood dishes that we recommend trying while spending time in paradise:

Shrimp Aguachile

The classic version of this dish is made with exquisitely fresh shrimp, “cooked” or marinated in lime juice with serrano green chili pepper, salt, and cilantro. Usually, fresh cucumber and raw red onion are added to the mix, and to top it off…perfectly ripe avocado. This delicious and refreshing seafood dish is eaten on tostadas or Saltine crackers.

Fresh Oysters

Without a doubt, some of the freshest oysters you’ll ever taste will be found on the beaches in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit. Often, you’ll be able to watch them be cracked open minutes after being pulled from the ocean. Season to perfection with fresh lime, salt, chili sauces, Magi, Worcestershire and voila! Enjoy a refreshing snack perfect for the beach.

Note: when purchasing oysters from the beach, be sure they have been kept in proper conditions on ice.

Tuna Tartar

Can you ever really go wrong with fresh tuna? Enjoy all kinds of different tuna tartar and ceviches made with delicious regional ingredients and some of the freshest tuna on the coast. Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit are known for delicious varieties of fresh ceviche made with shrimp, fish or even octopus.
