Seafood Restaurant in Puerta Vallarta

[ChristineMFer]

Our family of four will be in Puerta Vallarta on the Carnival Panorama in a couple of weeks.  We love fresh seafood.  Can anyone recommend a good seafood restaurant?  We are planning a walking tour and possibly some beach time.

Some of the freshest seafood in PV is at "Boca de Tomate" beach just north of the airport.  There are several beach front restaurants and will show you the fish they are going to cook for you lunch.  Lots of seafood combinations there too and the tables are actually placed on the sand under open air buildings.

 

This wouldn't be your normal cruise ship PV visit, but I really like the food and atmosphere at "Boca de Tomate" for lunch.  In addition, you can see large numbers of crocodiles along the road to the beach.  You can get really close to them as they come up right to the edge of a half broken chain metal fence keeping them off the road.

 

Any taxi or Uber driver will be familiar with Boca de Tomate.  Have fun!

I agree the seafood at Boca de Tomates is great, very fresh and on a special location. However donot expect any luxury, due to the isolated location e.g. there is no electricity. 

Another option more in town could be Tuna Azul, or The blue shrimp, Joe Jacks Fish Shack, to name a few.
