From the pond to the plate, a unique experience in my city

Today I want to share with you a very fun experience I had a few days ago. In my city there's a unique restaurant that differentiates itself from all the others because they have ponds where they raise their own fish, and people who visit the place can fish them and then they are prepared as lunch, directly from the pond to the plate!

The restaurant is located in the mountains of the Chorro del Indio National Park in San Cristobal, Tachira, Venezuela. It is surrounded by mountains and nature, has a very fresh atmosphere and extremely clean air, as well as beautiful views!

Hoy les quiero compartir con ustedes una experiencia muy divertida que viví hace unos dias y es que en mi ciudad hay un restaurante unico en su tipo y se diferencian de todos los demas porque tienen estanques en donde crian sus propios peces y las personas que visitan el lugar pueden pescarlos y luego son preparados como almuerzos, directamente del estanque al plato!

All the photos were taken with my Canon R8 camera and a 50mm lens.

The entire restaurant had a cabin-type architecture, something very typical in this area.

Todo el restaurante tenia una arquitectura tipo cabaña, algo muy tipico en esta zona.

The decoration inside the restaurant also matched the cabin theme:

La decoración por dentro del restaurante tambien iba acorde al tema de cabaña:

The restaurant is run by the owner himself. As I saw they had some antique objects, I asked the owner about them and he told me they were part of a history collection called "La Venezuela de antier" (The Venezuela of Yesterday). He invited me to go to the area and photograph it:

El restaurante es atendido por el propio dueño del lugar, como vi que tenian unos objetos antiguos le pregunté al dueño por ellos y me dijo que eran parte de una coleccion de historia llamada "La Venezuela de antier" el me invitó a pasar al area y fotografiarla:

There were literally all kinds of antique objects:

The owner of the restaurant is constantly adding new objects to his collection because he hopes to one day make a museum with all these things.

In another part of the restaurant I saw this beautiful cat (I love pets) and together with the decoration and colors, it resulted in one of my favorite photos:

En otra parte del restaurante pude ver a este hermoso gato (yo amo a las mascotas) y junto a la decoracion y los colores, resultó en una de mis fotos favoritas:

And after the whole tourist tour we started to get hungry and went straight to the main attraction of the place, the ponds where the fish are!

Y luego de todo el recorrido turisticos nos empezó a dar hambre y fuimos directo al principal atractivo del lugar, los estanques en donde están los peces!

They have two types of fish: Cachama and Pargo. You can choose which one you want.

After fishing, we went to the table and I chose salad and fried plantains to accompany my fish. About 15 minutes later the food was ready:

Luego de pescar fuimos a la mesa y yo escogí ensalada y platano frito para acompañar mi pescado, unos 15 minutos despues estuvo lista la comida:

The truth is that the food was delicious and for a price of $10 per plate, I think it's a very good price since the whole experience in general was very fun. It's definitely a place I would return to in the future and I recommend it 100%.

La verdad es que la comida estaba deliciosa y por un precio de 10$ por plato me parece muy buen precio ya que toda la experiencia en general fue muy divertida, definitivamente es un sitio al que volveria en un futuro y lo recomiendo 100%.
