Imagine finding a rental in Mexico with a kitchen just to whip up delicious meals with fresh fish. That’s exactly what Rick experiences at Hotel Villas Carrizalillo in Puerto Escondido. He starts by exploring the local market, gathering inspiration and ingredients like heirloom tomatoes and tuxtla chiles. Next, he teams up with a local expert to go spearfishing at Roca Blanca Playa, one of Mexico's most stunning beaches, to secure the freshest fish for his culinary creations. Rick transforms a robalo into a zesty aguachile, a flavorful soup with chayote and beer, and a seared robalo served with a rich tomatillo-pumpkinseed sauce.
