What is the "Beachside Restaurant "Catch of the Day" Price Bait" scam in Bávaro?

Question

Accepted Answer

Small restaurants and beach chiringuitos along the Bávaro beach strip display fresh fish in a cooler and quote a per-100g price verbally. When the bill arrives the stated weight is far higher than the portion served, or an undisclosed "preparation fee" and cover charge inflate the total significantly. Menus in these establishments often lack posted prices for fresh fish. Before ordering fresh fish, confirm the total estimated price in writing. Ask to see the fish weighed on a scale in front of you. At unfamiliar restaurants, ask for a written menu with all charges listed before sitting down.
