We decided to go to lunch at a different place than we usually do today. Usually we go to a cafeteria style place called Niko's. It's nice not only because the food is cheap and yummy, since it's cafeteria style, I can see everything and just point to what I want. At a sit down restaurant, I have basically no chance of figuring out what I want. But, we've been walking past a restaurant called Costa Azul every day and it looks nice, so we went in.
John wasn't much help in translating the menu for me, so I decided to just point to a random item on the menu, hoping it would be good. I've had great luck so far. After the waiter took our order and walked away, John said "You know you just ordered a whole fish don't you?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, a whole fish, head, tail, eyeballs... everything"
"I DID!?! Why didn't you stop me? How was I supposed to know I ordered a whole fish?"
So, my lunch came, and yep, it was a fish that had basically been thrown into a deep fryer right off the hook. I didn't even know how to eat it.
Alex, who has begun an earnest love affair with the fried potato, immediately began stealing all of my french fries. I was left with my slice of plantain and the fish. So, I turned him around (so he wasn't looking at me) and dug in. It was actually quite tasty, but difficult to pick around the bones. I don't know why people cook fish like this.
"Help me!"
