Delight yourself with the most iconic dish of the Colombian Caribbean region: the exquisite fried fish! In San Bernardo del Viento, we are fortunate to have a wide variety of fish, both from the river and the sea, thanks to the influence of the majestic Sinú River and our proximity to the coastal area.
The preparation is quite a culinary experience. First, the fish is washed, scaled and gutted and then immersed in hot oil until perfectly fried, turning it to achieve an even browning. To facilitate its tasting, it is cut diagonally, allowing the bones to fry and become softer when eaten.
In our lands, you will find a wide variety of sea fish such as snapper, mojarra, snook, sierra, jack mackerel, cojinua and tarpon, as well as river fish such as bocachico and catfish. Although sea fish are more popular on the beaches, a strong socio-cultural connection with river fish has developed in the urban area.
To accompany this delicacy, we offer you a perfect combination. Enjoy a comforting fish soup, a white or fried coconut rice that will transport you to authentic flavors, some irresistible patacones and a fresh tomato salad with onion and lettuce. And to complete this gastronomic experience, accompany it with a refreshing panela water with lemon.
In San Bernardo del Viento, every bite of fried fish is an explosion of flavors and textures that will transport you to the very essence of our region. Discover why this dish is so beloved and represents our culinary identity. Come and let yourself be seduced by the magic of our flavors.
