Hola,
We're looking forward to a great trip soon, and we'll visit a bunch of towns throughout the country (probably lingering longer on the North Coast). I want to eat some fresh seafood, but you know how those doctors sometimes scare you with information...
What seafood items can I order that have the lowest chance of Ciguatera - like, what are they called in DR Spanish?
I realize it's found in carnivorous reef fish - the bigger the badder - but I don't know if that's the main kind that's served in DR, or if it's common to find fresh fish from deeper waters. Or if restaurants just buy small fish...
Any suggestions on places in Cabarete, Las Galeras, or Las Terrenas that are likely to prepare Ciguatera-free cuisine are appreciated.
Thank you!
