The Unassuming Arizona Restaurant That Serves The Best Seafood You’ve Ever Tried

Seafood probably isn’t the first food that comes to mind when you think of dining in Arizona. But our land-locked state has some surprisingly great options, even in the middle of the desert. Today, we’re going to take a look at one restaurant that serves mouthwatering seafood you won’t want to miss tasting.

Welcome to Mariscos Mar Azul, a Yuma restaurant that specializes in Mexican seafood. The exterior of the restaurant is humble since it is located inside a strip mall but you might be surprised when you take a look inside.

Looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It’s pretty and refined but still maintains a relaxed atmosphere.

But, enough about the way the building looks. Let’s check out the food!

Like we mentioned earlier, Mariscos Mar Azul serves Mexican seafood and you’ll find many delicious platters! If you’re not quite sure where to start, try an appetizer like the oysters on a shell, calamari sticks, or fish and chips for a recognizable meal.

For something fresh and light, try the ceviche. You can also order this with tostadas to make it feel more like a meal.

And definitely try the fish tacos al pastor served on corn tortillas.

I feel like I could eat 20 of these.

Or, if you're feeling adventurous, try the red snapper. This features the entire fish fried and served with a couple of sides.

That food looked so good! If you've dined here, be sure to let us know what your experience was like!

Mariscos Mar Azul is located at 1314 South 5^th Avenue, Suite 5 in Yuma. You can find details about their menu, hours of operation, and more by visiting their website or Facebook page.
