Eating Our Way Around Belize – Part 4

Have you ever been to a pick-your-own seafood restaurant? I never had before, but Caramba in Belize is just that.

There was all kinds of fresh seafood available. It is all stored on ice to keep it as fresh as possible until you pick what you want for the chefs to cook up.

Caramba also has a full menu, which we actually ordered our dinners from. We got there in he nick of time. It was pretty quite when we first arrived, but by the time we were ready to leave, it was filling up quickly.

I ordered some chili mole shrimp.

And Larry ordered the snapper. I shared some of my shrimp with him too.

One of the items on the pick-your-own table was giant sea scallops. I LOVE scallops, and had to partake in the pick your own experience, even if only for a tiny bit. So I picked one HUGE scallop.

Here I am picking out my one scallop. It was fun. The staff was very accommodating and had fun too.

The chef cooked it to perfection for me. I had a lot of my delicious chili mole sauce leftover that I used for my lone scallop. Delicious!

After dinner, Larry saw an ice cream place across the street from Caramba, and he hadn’t had ice cream all week, so he had to indulge in some Belizan ice cream for dessert.

Larry was, well, “happy as Larry”, an old Australian term.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well, and if ice cream is your thing, eat your ice cream. It will help keep you happy. ‘Til next time.
