Flipper's - Mérida

A good place for fish. What else can I say? Delicious fish are not always easy to find here, even near the sea. Make sure not to fill too much on the plentiful appetizers. Although the guacamole is difficult to resist.

For years I have enjoyed Flipper's fish restaurant. It was the best roasted shrimp in town. I'm sad to report that the last two times I went the wonderful shrimps that we could be as a common place. Not the big jumbo perfect... kicked as they have been for years... just your average fat shrimp. It'll take a long time to come back!

We used to go to another seafood place, but since that went down the hill, we started to flipper's.... decently tasting food at a good price, service is ok, and we didn't have to wait long.... generous help...

There were 6 of us, the restaurant was full but the waiters didn't miss a bit, serve us graciously fast and accurate even though we had language problem but we most certainly were in 'daring mode". We had, a whole white fish (I don't recall its name) about 12" long and a good 5" wide, We figured out it was fried, but it wasn't greasy or oily, it was just fabulous! - We tried their Pan de Cazon, another fish unknown to us served between tortillas, smothered is some delicious sauce, out of sight! But their shrimp cocktail took the prize, they prepare it very differently than we ever tasted here in the States, you compliment it with a squirt of lime, a pinch of oregano, a good serving or finely chopped onion, and voilá! What a treat. The jewel was the price, very, very reasonable, if you take into consideration the service, the food and friendly atmosphere. Should we go back to Merida, we certainly would go back to Flipper's
