Cozumel seafood restaurant La Perlita with sensational Lion Fish dishes




Seafood restaurant "La Perlita" in Cozumel Mexico serves now different Lionfish dishes and plates! Sensational!!!



"La Perlita",counts to one of the best seafood restaurants in Cozumel offers now Lionfish dishes.

This exotic species: "Pterois volitans" "Lion fish" also known as "red fire Angel"- that is not native to the reefs of the island Cozumel is a species of venomous marine fish that continues to spread throughout many parts of the island reefs. They are actually eating their way through the Atlantic reefs, causing the most devastating marine invasion in human history and also put the beautiful reefs and marine life of Cozumel at risk.


Facing this problem the owners of restaurant "La Perlita" are actively helping to control the Lionfish population by preparing exquisite plates like:
Ceviche Lion - a real specialty.
Chopped fish filet bits in a fresh sauce of lime, mango & chili.
Served cold & mouth watering!!

Cozumel Restaurant Guide suggestions
Kilete a la Kisin. Little fish filets in a tasty red sauce...a must try!!



Also fried or grilled lionfish fliets are available...everything we (CozumelRestaurantGuide.com) tried was "yummie yummie". Usually 30-40 Lionfish add up to 1 kilogram (approx. 2 pounds) of fish - of which we can prepare 1 portion (350 gr) of the delicious filet" explains Gladys Tun ("La Perlita").
Therefore your reservation is required.

Lionfish have venomous dorsal spines that are cut off before they arrive at the chef´s kitchen. However - for security reasons every Lionfish
has to be frozen for at least 3 hours in order to transform its poison into protein.


The chef´s of "La Perlita" also educate other local chefs how to prepare the "red fire angel". In cooperation with the department of the National Marine Park Cozumel, the Office of Tourism Cozumel and Canirac (restaurant association of Cozumel) and local fishermen -
Cozumel seafood restaurant "La Perlita" is the first restaurant on the island that is actively helping to save the reefs.



Thank you "La Perlita" !!
