True story, Cooper.

Sadly missed are the abundance of sea grape, guava, mami and cocoplum trees. The fruits are the most delicious on all of Earth.

Since there were no refrigerators back then (no electricity) the fruits were made into a sweet jelly like stew. People would happily eat for days.

Excess fish catch was usually salted to preserve it for later. Salt fish is excellent too.

Actually, an excellent lunch meal would be made from chaya (local spinach type plant) and masa (corn mix) called "tamalitos de chaya". Covered with a tomato sauce, it was hmmmm mmmmmmm good!
