Buenas Dias! I’m on an extended vacation in the Riviera Nayarit region of Mexico. I came here to research a new book that I’m writing and am having a fantastic time.  The beaches here are spectacular and when I’m not writing (or eating — my favorite pastime), I’m taking full advantage of their beauty — surfing, kayaking, sunbathing, or as seen in this pic, spearfishing!

Now, I can’t take full credit, I didn’t actually spear this fish.  I paddled the kayak for a surfer who spearfishes, but I just wanted to take a picture and pretend like I got it. I contributed, right? We cooked up the fish whole, and served it with corn tortillas, a squeeze of lime, and a little pico de gallo.  Simple, and oh so delicioso.

More of my Mexican adventures (and recipes!) to come….

Adios!
