The most common fish you'll find at a restaurant are mahi mahi, snapper, sea bass, and tuna. Sidenote: much like we don't eat animals with cute faces and personalities, Costa Ricans tend not to eat beautiful tropical fish - even those that are perfectly edible. Jacks are not that beautiful individually, but are breathtaking in large schools. You can eat them, but it is not very common.

It really made me feel as if I were there every step of the way. Unfortunately I wasn't — though I do no envy you sleeping at the Poor man's Paradise villa with not even a fan! — but the writing here is exceptionally well done and made me eager to visit this exceptional place. Keep up the good work! I'll have to get down to Osa at some point before I die, it seems. :) This blog is so great! It really made me feel as if I were there every step of the way.
