In coastal areas, ceviche (raw fish cooked in lime juice) is popular, as is fried fish and camarones (shrimp). Nicer restaurants - like those in Guatemala City and Antigua - may offer prawns, jumpo shrimp, or seafood risotto.
You'll also find seafood in towns like Flores and Lívingston . Thanks to its Caribbean culture, the seafood in Lívingston is spicier than the rest of Guatemala. Be sure to try a tapado, a tasty seafood soup, while you're here.
