Shrimp or Mahi Mahi? Choosing Seafood at Paradise Beach

Coconut Shrimp - Shrimp Creations

Choosing seafood at Paradise Beach Cozumel starts with two questions: do you feel like shrimp or mahi mahi, and would you rather have a plate, tacos or something served with lime and fresh ingredients? The menu gives you several ways to answer, with different preparations and toppings that make the choice more interesting than simply picking a seafood name.

Choose shrimp by preparation

Shrimp Creations offers five styles: breaded, coconut, garlic, grilled and Cajun. Compare the breaded and coconut preparations if those flavors appeal to you. If you prefer garlic or a grilled preparation, you can choose those styles directly.

Cajun gives you another seasoned option to consider. Ask your server about the heat level if that is an important part of your decision, rather than guessing how spicy a preparation will be.

The menu lists rice, broccoli, carrots and french fries as sides. Ask your server how the plate is served if a particular accompaniment matters to your order.

Compare the two seafood tacos

The taco truck menu includes two seafood choices, with two tacos per order. Their toppings are a good guide to which one you might enjoy.

Spicy Garlic Shrimp tacos combine shrimp with red onion, avocado and guajillo chile. Choose this direction if garlic and chile sound like the right match for your lunch. The name flags a spicy preparation, so check with your server if you are sensitive to heat.

Blackened Mahi tacos use mahi mahi strips with avocado, mango, slaw and chipotle dressing. The mango brings a fruit element to the combination, while the slaw adds another texture. This is the option to consider when those toppings are as appealing to you as the fish itself.

Look at the mahi mahi plate and sandwich

If you prefer fish without the taco toppings, the seafood section also lists a mahi mahi fillet with Cajun, garlic and breaded options. You can compare the preparation with your favorite shrimp style rather than choosing based only on the type of seafood.

For a sandwich lunch, the Paradise Fish Sandwich features a mahi mahi fillet with lettuce, tomato and red onion. Grilled and Cajun options are listed. It offers another format if a sandwich sounds more appealing than tacos or a seafood plate.

Consider ceviche or shrimp cocktail

Shrimp Ceviche combines shrimp, tomato, red onion, lime, cilantro and serrano chile. The lime-and-chile combination is worth noting if you enjoy citrus-forward flavors.

Shrimp Cocktail takes a different approach, pairing shrimp with cocktail sauce, avocado and lime. Compare these ingredient lists to decide which combination appeals to you.

Before choosing, check the full all-inclusive menu. If you have an allergy or need a preparation change, discuss it with the team before ordering.
