Where a venue publishes no photograph of itself, we say so rather than borrow one. For a sit-down table back from the sand in San Pedro, San Pedro's restaurant guide has the full list.
espeto = the sardine skewer, from a menu we read (11 venues). mains = the main-course range on their carta. est. per head = an aggregate per-person estimate, not a menu price; we label it rather than pass it off. Every name opens its own page, with the menu.
Every figure is a dated observation. We re-harvest the menus through the season, when a skewer moves, it gets named on the Wire.
