It would be a shame to go to Central America and not get to indulge in the plentiful native fruits. Fortunately, Casa Vieja Lodge makes the local ingredients a key part of their culinary showcase – you get fruit on the boat, in the “drink of the day,” and in some of the entrees as well. My favorite sweets, though, are on the daily fruit plate that precedes your a la carte breakfast. The kitchen staff demonstrate that their knife skills are every bit the equal of those of the mates on the boats.
I recommend saving the banana-laden pancakes for your day of departure, when all of the fishing is done.
