I would like to have this service when I'm in Santiago. I have a number to a local pescaderia that I visit in person. Quite often, he doesn't have what I need and sometimes he calls me when the catch is already two or three days old. I was given a tip to visit the market in La Joya, but again, the fish is frozen stiff and often appear scary looking - contorted with mouth wide open.
I don't eat any red meat or chicken, thus finding a reliable place is very important to me. I would substitute the lack of fresh fish by eating vegetarian, bacalao, or arenque.
Someone even told me to go to Maimon. I went, as I do occasionally to dine, however, I wasn't successful trying to source it fresh. So I guess the last resort would be to travel to Sosua, make my selections, then trek back to Santiago. The is one inconvenience I surely miss being a resident of New York - we have a plethora of fresh fish stores.
As weird as this may sound, I've even entertained the idea of calling the Fish Association written above, and tell them exactly what I want, and have them put in on a metro bus. Some payment arrangement could be established firsthand. Just the logistics of this is scary because it's perishable food and anything could happen in the preparation, or even packaging.
The worst is that they don't deliver and rob me, or somehow, the fish gets contaminated to the joy of many here on this board. Delite would be gone forever!

A number in Sosua would be great, anyone?
