Sabores del Chorrillo

Panama City


This waterfront market contains a number of seafood stands, with miniature kitchens occupied by residents of Chorillos, an edgy neighborhood famous for its fried fish. Whole parga, squid, ceviche (citrus-cured seafood) and patacones (fried plantains) are served at shady outdoor tables. Alongside the Cinta Costera, it's easiest to access heading toward downtown from the Amador area.
