Las Colinas Sur

We had an excellent lunch this week at Las Colinas Sur in Granada, Nicaragua.  It's a local restaurant famous for freshwater fish, caught fresh out of Lake Cocibolca, the 10th largest freshwater body in the world.  The favorite is guapote - a Central American Bass (technically a member of the Cichlid family),  I had breaded and deep-fried guapote with garlic and butter sauce (in the second picture) and Eunice had grilled guapote (in the third picture).  These dishes cost about C$200 ($9.09).  We washed it down with 'té de grama' (fresco de grama), a favorite lemon-tea type drink made from a local grass.  When in Granada, do visit Las Colinas Sur!
