This country is indeed very very deeply Carnivore... but the good news is that things are improving for 'surf' lovers... the amount of Japanese Fusion and Peruvian restaurants in the large cities is booming, and this will mean that the logistics of fresh seafood will begin to have a reason to be, which will mean that more food markets will have more fresh fish. This will take longer in smaller cities and towns, but its the beginning of a process that will make things better, eventually.

Hiddy.... you should consider starting a relationship with a store in Buenos Aires that you like... its not unheard of for them to dispatch fresh seafood (properly packaged and iced-up) at Retiro through one of the Colectivo Lines.... this will of course cost extra, but it can be done. Im sure some of the boutique fish places at the Mercado de Belgrano will be willing to do this for you.

Felices Fiestas!!!!!!!!!
