Viña del Mar, Chile- Chile is one of the biggest exporters of fish in the world because of its highly commercialized fisheries and rich waters. The Humbolt current flowing north from Antarctica and the south pacific that makes the water uncomfortably cold to swim in is also gives this coastal region incredibly high marine productivity. Merluza (Hake), Reineta (Pomfret), and Corvina (Sea Bass) are highly prized fishes in Chilean cuisine. One local favorite is Congrio, or the Conger Eel, is an ugly spotted eel that yields firm and tasty white flesh. It is often prepared in a seafood broth with potatoes and onions, called Cauldillo de Congrio.
