Cozumel is a place full of traditions. From the annual parade to the great coral reef that divers all across the worl love, but one of Cozumel’s grateast attraction is the excelent gastronomy. Cozumel has so many types of traditional dishes like ceviche (it can be made from shrimp, fish, octopus and sea snail), tortas de cochinita (which is a sandwich made from bolillo and pork beef strips marinated in achiote and orange juice), relleno negro (made from turkey beef, pork beef and a mixture of different chiles) among others. Cozumel’s gastronomy is an expansion of Yucatan’s typical recipes but with the island’s touch. One of the main dishes that originated in the island is the lion fish. It was first found in the island back in 2009 and it had been a massive predator for species that were living in the coral reef. Since then the threat has been controlled and lion fish is a great meal, it han be served as a filet, as ceviche or even as a tempura.
