Dinner at the "Fat Grouper" Grill
Served
from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., dinner takes on a more
continental flavor.
Seafood comes from the Gulf of
Mexico and meat is brought from the northern states of Chihuahua
and Coahuila. Poultry and pork, introduced by the Spaniards
are now a principal part of the Mayan diet.
Everything in the kitchen is prepared
taking advantage of the rich assortment of fresh produce
grown in the Yucatan Peninsula and using the same
local spices and sauces used since pre-Hispanic times.
From Spanish
influence we have "Sopa de Lima", the classic
Yucatecan chicken soup and "Pollo Valladolid",
marinated chicken with bay leaf, oregano and x-catic
sweet peppers.
Seafood has a Caribbean
flavor in "Pescado a la Veracruzana" (fish
baked in a tasty tomato, olive and pepper sauce)
and "Camaron al Mojo de Ajo" (Shrimp
in garlic lemon butter). You will learn to respect
the fiery hot "Chile Habanero" (only
grown in this area) and get to know the nutritious "Chaya",
a vegetable similar to spinach found in every Cozumel
garden.
