I spent 2 years in South and Central America. Some offerings were just scarey. My favorites were:
In Brazil was grilled squid steaks with plantains. Breakfast was eggs and flying fish fillets cooked on the griddle
.
In Colombia was sancocho de tortuga.
The last cook I sail with could cook but chose to serve prefabricated shit, sespool raised shrimp and would not fry fish…the horror…
Ocean Survey Vessels
Biscuits and Gravy to start the day
BBQ ribs, baked beans and corn to finish it.

As we went down the river our other company boats asked if we were on fire!
I’ve sailed with some outstanding cooks. One cook i sailed with carrying heating oil from Corpus to Portland for several winters cooked the best cold weather food. He made sourdough bread every day. Standard fare in port would be home made tomato soup or split pea soup with sourdough crutons or grilled ham and cheese sandwitches. Seafood chowder with shrimp, clams, scallops, crab and oysters. The smell of it alone would instigate an onslaught of the gout!
Battered fried mahi for lunch, caught at morning coffee break (back when fishing was allowed)
Seared yellow fin.
Deep sea Construction ROV
Gabon west africa, fresh caught jumbo tiger prawn shrimp, with fresh tuna steaks cooked on the grill
