If you love fish and seafood, then you live in one of the best countries in the world to enjoy them. Since Mexico is surrounded by water, we have an unimaginable amount of seafood that mixes with delicious classic recipes from Mexican cuisine. Without a doubt, at any beach in Mexico, you can find good seafood, but there are certain places that have earned the reputation of having the best seafood offerings in the country; these are the chosen ones.

Acapulco

The Guerrero coast is very well represented by this sun-and-beach destination. In Acapulco, it's not just hotels, bars, and nightclubs; it is one of the Mexican destinations with the best flavor when it comes to seafood. The famous pescado a la talla is better here than anywhere else, its Acapulco ceviches are also a delight, and the vuelve a la vida, that magical cocktail for hangover days, is also among the stars of the Guerrero offer.

Ensenada

In this small city in the north of the country, it’s not so much about cocktails or mixes, but rather serving seafood in its purest form to convey the taste of the sea. Its callo de hacha, for example, is one of the best in the world, as are its aguachiles, that spicy and simple preparation based on fish or shrimp in lime juice, which is favored by thousands of people every year. See recipe: Tacos de camarón rosarito

Veracruz

The jarocho flavor is unmatched. On the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico, some of the best seafood dishes in the country are prepared. If you don't believe it, remember that this is the birthplace of pulpo encebollado, pescado al chiltepín, and of course, camarones enchilpayados. Here, seafood is prepared in sauces and chilies, giving it a more Mexican flavor. See recipe: Pescado a la veracruzana

Campeche

This beautiful colonial city may not have the culinary fame of other places like Oaxaca or Mérida, but it certainly rivals them thanks to its seafood specialties. Crab legs, coconut shrimp, shrimp and oyster cocktail, and even the delicious pickled pámpano are more than enough reasons to visit this place that brings together the best of the Gulf and southeastern Mexico.

Manzanillo

It is said that the most beautiful sunsets in Mexico are seen here, right in front of the Pacific Ocean. As striking as this may be, we have an even better reason to visit Manzanillo: its seafood. The most representative dish is undoubtedly ceviche Colima, a fresh specialty prepared with sailfish or grouper, lime juice, orange juice, tomato, onion, carrots, and bell pepper. See recipe: Ceviche
