Is it safe?
A relaxed 3.5-hour coastal market tour and hands-on seafood class capped at 8 guests (age 10+). Mind knife safety, citrus-cured raw fish considerations during pregnancy, and severe shellfish allergies.
•Flag severe fish, shrimp, octopus or nut allergies in advance so the chef can isolate ingredients cleanly.
•Traditional ceviche is cured in lime juice without stove heat: pregnant guests or immunocompromised diners should request grilled/cooked portions.
•Knife chopping and hot grills take place indoors — wear closed flat shoes and follow instructor technique.
•Morning market walkways get warm and bustling; carry water and keep personal bags close.
Always confirm with the operator: rules and conditions can change.
