Blue Fish Seafood

Every dish at Blue Fish Seafood is an instagrammer’s delight: The food is simply picture perfect. But, even more than that, the fresh local seafood featured in these dishes are of the highest quality and served in time-honored Baja California Sur style preparations. Chef Ildefonso “Poncho” Avilés hails from a family with deep roots in San José del Cabo, and Blue Fish Seafood is one of the rare local restaurants that eschews regionally representative dishes from across the country in favor of traditional local favorites.

The original incarnation of Blue Fish was an intimate 10-table eatery that opened at San José del Cabo’s Plaza Península in 2011. The restaurant moved to its present location just over a year ago. The new location includes a spacious patio that adds alfresco ambience to an already exceptional dining experience.

The service is unfailingly warm and welcoming. Specialties range from ceviches and sashimis to aguachiles and tortilla-wrapped seafood tacos. The chef’s most beloved dish is a sea bass ceviche with fresh mango. The Shoppes at Palmilla, km 27.5 on the tourist corridor, San José del Cabo, (624) 172-6652, www.bluefishcabo.com.
