Does Belize Have Good Seafood?

No matter where you go in Belize, you’ll never be more than 60 miles (96.5 km) from the Caribbean Coast. The seafood is usually fresh everywhere you go. Lobster and conch are delicious and abundant while they are in season. Be sure to eat seafood during your stay, especially while you’re in a coastal city or on one of Belize’s cayes. Red snapper is available year round, and widely considered one of the tastiest fish in the sea.

With seafood this fresh, Belize’s coast is a great place to try ceviche. Ceviche is a dish made from raw, fresh fish marinated in citrus juices. It is typically served with chilies and cilantro, and it is popular all over Central and South America.
