A Guide to Colombian Seafood

Colombian seafood belongs to the Caribbean coast, where coconut shows up in almost everything. Cazuela de mariscos is the creamy seafood stew of Cartagena, encocado de pescado cooks fish in coconut milk, and arroz con camarones is the shrimp rice served at every beach restaurant. Mojarra frita, a whole fried fish with patacones and coconut rice, is the plate you will see most, and the ceviche cartagenero comes with a tomato-and-mayonnaise twist.
