Cockteleria Justicia Social (Fisherman’s Co-op), Isla Mujeres
The Fisherman’s Co-op has been our go-to destination when we are craving simply prepared, fresh fish and you can’t get any fresher than sitting right on the dock where the lobster traps are stacked high and the fishing boats are tied up. Over the years we have sampled most of the menu and have been absolutely delighted with everything we’ve ever tasted. The parmesan crusted and almond crusted fish and the varied kinds of ceviche are all excellent. Sometimes we order ceviche “to go” to take along to a happy hour or as a light supper.
We love the pico de gallo and crunchy tortilla chips that get placed in front of you as soon as you sit down.
We have observed over the years that as many locals as travellers frequent the café.
On this evening, we split an order of garlic fish. It was succulent, perfectly prepared and so abundant.
But the excellent food isn’t the only draw of the Fisherman’s Co-op, it is the million dollar view:
Kath’s quote: “Remember the waterfront shack with the sign FRESH FISH SOLD HERE. Of course it’s fresh, we’re on the ocean. Of course it’s for sale, we’re not giving it away. Of course it’s here, otherwise the sign would be someplace else. The final sign: FISH.”-Peggy Noonan
Live simply, laugh often, love deeply.
