It Rains Fishes is located at the boulevard in a historical building with a lovely sea view. Although the restaurant is famous for its wide range of great fresh local fish and seafood, they serve more than just that. For lunch I had the rich goat cheese salad which they make with local cheese (if available) from Aletta’s Semper Kontentu.
Manager Huub Groots mission is to serve good food with respect for local products. Inside you will find a small Fish Market where you can see your fish just before it is served on your plate, or you can buy it and take it home.
They mainly serve local fish, like wahoo and tuna, which are caught with their own fishing boat. The local fishermen don’t use rods, spears or nets, instead these craftsmen pull up large fishes from the sea using only hand lines. Check out infobonaire.com/sustainableseafood.
On their tables they offer Bonairian sea salt from La Placita Salt Shop which I visited after I finished my fair trade (Puro) cup of coffee. It Rains Fishes serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. itrainsfishesbonaire.com
