Right past the movie studios in Rosarito sits a tiny fishing village with the ultimate sea to table experience. Welcome to Popotla fishing village.
Boats are beached on the sand and filled with fabulous fresh catches. Caught the same morning, this is as fresh as it gets! So fresh in fact, that the shellfish are still moving! Buy a whole fish and take it to one of the many beach front restaurants which will season and cook it for you. So delicious.
