Back Story

Pescaderia Alex started out as one freezer full of lobster back in 1993. Back then there was no store, but Alex always had fresh seafood for sale at his house. Since then the store has grown, along with population and tourism. Alex currently has 6 enormous freezers that he keeps freshly stocked with the best local seafood.

Before Alex started his pescaderia he had been a fisherman since his teen years. Alex started free diving to spear fish and hook lobsters. And then he started participated in extended commercial fishing trips that would leave him at sea for months at a time. Alex also worked as a diver collecting pretty fish for aquariums throughout the world. Through all of this, Alex has developed a deep relationship with the ocean, marine life, and the fishing industry.
