La Camaronera
Grouper Sandwich
Tostones – Fried Green Plantains
Conch Fritters
Key Lime Pie
Considered by some to be the best Mexican Seafood joint in town it was a pre-lunch snack that saw our trio seated at La Camaronera and although the quality of the fish sandwich was unquestionably high the price-to-portion ratio was far skewed to the left while fritters were more starch than shellfish and tostones were oily at best. Obviously a downscale spot compared to others on a substantial dining agenda suffice it to say that a later stop at Star Fish Co. in Cortez proved a far superior experience at a lower cost per person and although Joe’s Stone Crab is obviously more expensive and ‘touristy,’ it too proved a superior experience, the extra dollars not only providing substantially better seafood but an arguably better ‘bang for the buck,’ a fact not just obvious in the signature savories but also in sweets where La Camaronera’s Key Lime Pie was far sweeter than it was sour, a situation further exacerbated by a substantial topping of canned whipped cream.
