We started with the shopping. She showed us her favourite butcher who only kills one cow a day from his ranch. If you want multiple tenderloins you've got to go back multiple days in a row. Then it was off to the fish monger. There we saw tuna, red snapper, 7 different sizes of shrimp, 2 of crab, mackerel, mahi mahi, octopods and various other denizens of the deep. We also acquired a descaler for fish - a tool made out of a piece of pipe, cut with teeth that you run over the fish to get the scales off so you can prepare the fish whole on the grill and eat it entire. Next to the green grocer for all kinds of local goodness including 2 kinds of dried peppers, local peach and mango, and other unspellable bits and pieces.
The meal was amazing. The multiple salsa (sauces) made from one base of 3 different kinds of dried peppers astounded us both.
