I'm trying to picture that in my head and somehow I can't make it work. Mango season is around the corner here, I normally get a lot from my neighbors, this year the trees are in full bloom. Grilling a mango?...I'm still thinking about it.

I'm thinking grill mango slices, about 1/4" thick and grill fish fillets - thinly cut. You'll need some kind of sauce that compliments both the fish and the mango - something slightly citrusy. A firm white fish - trigger fish or dolphin or snapper? Okay, we grill the mango slices to get a slight char and then chop it into a salsa with some mild chiles like serannos, garlic, green onions, a little fresh chopped cilantro and charred sweet corn with a touch of hot pepper powder, and coarse kosher sea salt. The fish and the mango are the stars of this show. Serve on a small grilled corn tortilla with fresh-squeezed lime juice sprinkled over it. Hey, we're on the verge of opening a gourmet taco stand on Sanibel, no?

No, but mango has a lot of water and a lot of sugar, if you grill it for too long you'll have nothing left. I've had mango salsa at some restaurant that didn't last long, I was not impressed with their recipe. Some things don't go well with fish in my opinion, cheese is one of them, in the Florida Keys I was served some appetizer that had cheese and fish...no like it, textures don't do well together and I love cheese and fish. |

I had mango salsa with grilled shrimps on the east side of Guatemala, on the Caribbean that was really good. I've thought about this, if we're going to be a corrupt communist republic, like the powers that be seem to want, we might as well sell all our crap and live the good life down that way. I've even got a place picked out already, in Calderas, Guatemala. Brian |

They didn't cook the mango on the grill, just the shrimps and whatever else. They served the salsa on the side.
As far as putting money overseas, that's a nogo to be sure. And besides, I'd have to get a lot better at the language. Brian |

Three years in Puerto Rico and it wasn't until the last two months when I aquired a taste for them mangos. The first ones I had had something of a chemical taste to them. Maybe overripe or just a bad tree, don't know, but I just didn't care for them then. But then I got some good ones and was hooked, making salsa and eating them with everything. We had a tree in the yard that produced so many you had to shovel them off. Now I'm paying a buck a piece when I'm at a market that has them.

I hired a Guatemala dude to haul several loads of junk out of a property I was fixing up. Did a good job
Claimed his brother could climb and trim trees, and cut them down for cheap... Tried to hire him to do that too.... He never should back up. So I guess he was bull shitting me

I almost ran over a passed out drunk guy in Guatemala, he was passed out in a ditch and a canero truck heaping fully was heading at me on a dirt road. Saw a bike on edge of road so I hit the brakes. It was at dusk so once the truck passed and dust cleared I saw him laying there, my passenger said he was probably just drunk it’s saturday keep going. Those motherfuckers get piss loaded on saturdays in every town square you see guys slumped over drunk at night, police don’t seem to give a shit.
