It is not a surprise that given the abundance of natural resources that we have in San Blas, the gastronomy of this beautiful port is based on seafood; a look at the following five delicious dishes will surely convince you to visit us.
1) Zarandeado Fish
Definitely your visit to San Blas is not complete without tasting this typical delight of the Riviera Nayarit; The special way of preparing it over smoked mangrove wood where all the ingredients are combined results in an experience that is very difficult to forget.

2) Oyster Sopes
If you are a seafood lover, you’ve probably tried oysters in different ways, but when you taste these special “sopes”, you’ll never want to leave San Blas anymore! Look for them at the Main Square or palapa restaurants along the beach.

3) Smoked Marlin
Unlike other parts of the world, in Mexico and specially on the coast of Nayarit, we’ve got the immense joy of having abundant marlin, one of the most charming dishes for those who try it for the first time, either in tacos, tostadas, burritos or any way you can think of.

4) Tatemado Fish
Another unique way to harness the mangrove wood which is not lacking in our shores, is preparing the delicious tatemado fish; unlike the zarandeado that normally uses snapper, tatemado takes all the great flavor of the thin lip mullet, specialty of San Blas.
