March 16, 2015 - Bahia San Luis Gonzaga

Today was our last day at Bahia San Luis Gonzaga and we made the most of it. The weather cooperated and it was sunny and hot. We FINALLY went swimming – careful to avoid the jelly fish that were along the shore. We spent time just sitting in the sun and enjoying the day.

This afternoon we took the scooter and went over to the fish camp to stock up on fish to bring home. We didn’t know exactly how to get to the camp, so we went down the highway and into the next camping area. Well, that was wrong! We had to pass through the military check point to get to Papa Fernando’s where we thought it was located. It turned out that the road we needed was the one that goes to Alfonsina’s Restaurant – right by our camp! So, back we went, through the checkpoint and headed toward Alfonsina’s. From there we turned off onto another dirt road and found our way to the camp – and fish!!!
 

We got sea bass and corvina filets – 8.5 kilos – or 18.7 pounds of filets, for $650 pesos ($45.85USD). Okay, that works out to $2.45 USD per pound which we thought was quite a bargain!!! We had our five corvina and nine sea bass fileted by the fishermen for us, and we were prepared by taking our own bags.
After he got started fileting, Mario came to help out or it would have taken a long time because they didn’t have a very sharp knife. Most people don’t go to the camps to buy fish so they aren’t really prepared to sell filets.

I cooked a bass filet tonight for dinner and it was delicious. We will certainly miss eating fish fresh from the sea but are taking home some memories to savor later.
