From freshly made fish and shrimp ceviche by the pool and golden-fried seafood tacos to succulent Caribbean lobster, fruits de mer is the order of the day this summer.

Have yourself a seafood summer at the Royal Resorts restaurants. Whether you prefer casual dining on tacos, ceviche or grilled fish for lunch by the pool or dinner at Captain’s Cove, Los Murales, El Conquistador, Hacienda Sisal and La Trattoria, your seafood will always be fresh and delicious.

Start your meal with a hearty seafood broth, ceviche or shrimp cocktail, fried calamari, scallops with fresh ginger, seafood-stuffed Portobello mushrooms at El Conquistador or even smoked marlin tostadas at Hacienda Sisal.

Are you in the mood for grilled salmon or tuna with a pepper crust? Both are on the menu at Los Murales and Captain’s Cove or try the local catch of the day boquinete (hogfish) or grouper fillets served with lime and garlic butter.

If it is shrimp you crave, order them in lime and tequila sauce, with garlic butter, golden-fried with coconut and a tangy dipping sauce or in frutti di mare pasta.

Summer is lobster season in the Mexican Caribbean and your options include lobster bisque or ceviche, the Hacienda Sisal lobster and shrimp enchiladas, or lobster tail cooked to perfection and served under a starlit sky at Captain’s Cove or El Faro at Grand Residences in Puerto Morelos.

If you cannot decide what to order, why not share a seafood platter and enjoy a bit of everything?
