Beachfront palapa (thatched-roof) restaurant Quezada grills pescado zarandeado (spiced, charcoal-grilled fish) to near perfection thanks to a delightful adobo (seasoned tomato-chili sauce) marinade that gets brushed on the whole fish during cooking. If they happen to have corbina as the day's fresh catch, you're in luck.
