It was a lovely afternoon at Hotel Coral & Marina, just north of Ensenada, last month – the perfect day for Cocina La Baja. Previously held on the expansive seaside patio at Estero Beach Hotel & Resort south of Ensenada, this event is a favorite due to the diversity of offerings. Rather than feature a rather narrow culinary category, such as shellfish or paella, CLB spotlights ALL of Baja’s seafood. Take a look at the pics below!
It’s cool to be educated about what you are about to consume..
Sea urchins, anyone? Although we did not consume any at this event, we have been treated to some very fresh urchins at a secret surf spot in Baja in the past.
Loved seeing the ever-young Sabina Bandera from Ensenada and her colleague at the event.
These seafood-filled “cones” of corn masa won my vote for innovation! From Ensenada’s La Cevicheria.
Salud! Our amigo from Ensenada’s Nordika Cerveceria is dressed to impress.
Great to see Baja’s fabled chefs Javier Plascencia & Drew Deckman serving as judges in CLB’s “Batalla Culinaria.”
Nice work on the kid’s mural!
Our next opportunity for eating & drinking in Baja: the Paella Contest, now rescheduled for Sunday, Aug. 27. Stay tuned to see how we do!
