Fresh filets of fish
I would call the number Ringo posted and speak to Daniel. Thanks for the information.
hmmm. i did not explain myself well then. fresh fish you can buy, from those dudes catching it close to the shore. if you know about fish you can see it is fresh and nice. you could then ask them, maybe, to fillet it for you (i kinda think they lack in hygiene thou) but normally those fish are not very big.
i would not buy something already filleted, thou. who knows when it happened and how clean the process was.
DV8 does not recommend eating fresh fish here on hygene grounds but there is another reason not to eat reef fish -ciguatera toxin. This is concentrated in reef fish and has a very bad effect on humans. It tends to be cummulative toxin and can result in a long lasting illness.

The risk of ciguatera is very low as long as you eat low on the food chain and don't eat it every day. Your most likely to get it from barracuda.
eat whatever fish you like, because in 30 years there won't be any fish left in the oceans............just jellies.....
My understanding is that most of the Cab/Sos fish come from Cabrera.... we have trouble getting fresh snapper or grouper b/c its all spoken for in Cab/Sos
There is a fish store - down the little road across from Playero - it'll be on the left going that way.
Every day about 3-4pm he gets a cabrera shipment - most days weather depending on the fishing.
Yes, the fisherman come in to the beach and will filet it for you - cheap and fresh... at least at la Entrada they do.
Suggestion -
go to a good restaurant and ask to buy along w/ them.... you'll get your pick/order, maybe pay for it but it's a guaranteed buy

I already went to purchase fresh fish from Marisco Caribeno and the price per pound was almost tripled. They wouldn't buy for me because they see that as losing a regular dinner customer.
. I'm going to tie this up once I return. This is one of my greatest inconveniences. If I ate pork, I would've been in hog heaven here.
)It's a bit like the beef business.... the best meat never gets to retail -- the restaurants have the market cornered.
Keep thinkin'
where's there's a will - there's a way
ask Gordito's ... the prices are all fixed within the hour.... at wholesale
he's a BIG fish buyer

Who's Gordito's? The prices are really elevated around Easter time and increases gradually depending on daily supply, of course.
Gorditos Fresh Mex

Sure thing WW, however, being based in Santiago, it might just be a better idea for me to go directly to the Fishermen Aassociation in order to eliminate the intermediate. Thanks for your help. They know you as a dictionary there too?
)An observation from a guy that has watched the Sosua fishing boats for years. In the last 10 years we now have:
1/4 of the fishing fleet.
Those that are still here go way out off shore, just about out of sight.
Those that spear fish right off of our place, small fish and few.
This year, during some fish running close to the rocks and nets set for 12 hours, most times the nets were empty.
We have one fisherman that goes out in a kayak and paddles his way several miles to try to find fish using a hand line.
No one comes to throw a line off our rocks anymore.

the situation Ringo is so very serious and huge that It is 'unfathomable' to most people to realize just what we have gone and done.
There is though a useful documentary.

I love fish, I love eating fish, but things are changing REALLY fast. It is all down to numbers once again. The numbers of consumers far far outweigh the numbers of demand.
I am sticking to Pizza from now on!!

While diving the other day we saw shark. They told me not to tell the fischermen.
