Posts: 300Butt naked issues
While I do believe that an excellent seafood banquet could be held at the mansion, it is difficult to make any comparison with Oviedo because I have never seen any nudity at Oviedo. In fact, a generous tip is accorded all waiters who keep their pants on. With the girls at the mansion, the opposite seems more the style.

Our formal dining room seats twelve comfortably and there is an excellent fish market nearby. Even if one is not a mansion guest, one could rent the facilities and have a great seafood dinner at a fraction of the cost of say Oviedo. And, you can have topless waitresses. Hell, you can have butt naked waitresses although I would not take responsibility for any hairs you might find in your food. Maybe have butt naked waitresses with shaved pussies just to be on the safe side.

Posts: 751where the river becomes the ocean
Mongers-
I think that the Punta Del Este peninsula (northeast of Montevideo) in Uruguay marks that farthest extreme of the Rio De La Plata. I recall that the Playa Mansa was located on the Rio De La Plata (the water warmer, looked like river water, and there were no waves) whereas the Playa Bravo, on the other side of the peninsula, was located on the Atlantic Ocean (this was obvious, as there were 3-5 foot waves, people trying to surf, and the water looked / felt just like the water on the Jersey Shore)
Suerte,
Dirk Diggler

Posts: 1543It's wonderful that we have such accomplished geographers here
But more to the point, do any of you know the whereabouts of a good seafood restaurant in Buenos Aires?
Sincerely,
H99
PS - Some imaginary line on a map demarking "the ocean" from "the river" doesn't turn Buenos Aires into a real river city like Cincinnati.

Posts: 3510One big difference between meat and fish is that if you beat your fish it will die.

Posts: 8Seafood from Argentina, good supply but hard to find
I have looked all over Argentina along the coast for a good seafood resturant and have only found one in Purto Mardyn it was years ago and the name has left me but the area is a top seafood suplier to Argentina and the world.
In Argentina they catch in the south a good scallop, king and snow crab both, Seabass (tooth fish) which is a top white meat fish, king clip and whiting and my favorite Argentine Pink Shrimp (cold water just like lobster meat from New England.

Posts: 1043Good paella can be easily found in Argentina. However, Argentina has the highest beef consumption per capita in the world and, from what I've seen, Argentines are not too keen on seafood, generally speaking. That's one of the the reasons I like them.
Even in Mar del Plata, which actually is located right on the Atlantic and has a sizeable fishing industry (a key industry there IIRC) people eat very little fish. They still prefer cows, pigs, and pasta as do I. No fish will ever touch my grill or my plate.
Better off in Brazil if you like fish and fruit and tropical drinks and gang-controlled cities. Maybe my preferences will change one day. I used to hate cats but am now a cat lover.

And seafood is one of the few things that are really better in Chile.
Machas!
Btw. Sorrento at Ritero (under the 9 de Julio bridge) has a decent selection.

Posts: 2599Frankly speaking theres something about South American fish that I just don't like. I think its perhaps then don't have the refrigeration we do here up North.
Also South Atlantic or Pacfic in the case of Chile don't taste as good as our North Atlantic fish.
And yes Buenos Aires is located on a River.

Posts: 3510It's good to hear Buenos Aires is on the ocean. It must have some really nice beaches, like in Mexico. Probably a lot of great spicy food, too. I love the tropics.

Posts: 1543Exon,
You must have been draining the Beefeater bottle again when you visited Puerto Cristal. That's the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at in Buenos Aires. I think Jackson and the third monger who ate with us one evening several months ago would share that opinion.
I am actually interested in this thread, as I really don't know any exceptional seafood restaurants in Buenos Aires. Which is strange, as it sits on the Atlantic Ocean. Plenty of good sushi places, check my reviews for those.
