FOOD, SHOPPING & PEOPLE
Eating and drinking
As most of the population are recent immigrants and most ingredients are imported, there are few typical local dishes, though the seafood is exceptional.Look out for ceviche, which is different to the Peruvian version. It often contains shellfish marinaded in lime, and is served with popcorn.
Lobster is a local delicacy. Fishing is usually permitted from September-December, but do check if it was harvested sustainably.

People & culture
Gifts & shopping
The Galápagos is not the best place to purchase South American souvenirs, but beyond the overpriced “I Love Boobies” t-shirts there are a number of craft stalls and high-end jewellers along the waterfront in Puerto Ayora who are making their name on the island.Avoid any items made with black coral and turtle or tortoise shell. These are threatened species, and the products are illegal.
All profits from the Research Centre gift shop are returned to its projects, so buy your books here rather than off Amazon when you return home!
