Might sound strange, but the most common weird request at our Samana property is if I have the contact of a local fisherman who could come up to the house and bring his 'catch of the day', for sale.
We are in a developing country, and right over a fishing village, so we know several guys who are super happy to sell his hard work to tourists ,(instead of loosing money at the local market).
There is always a second request after that: "do you know anyone who could clean and cook this for us"?
Its usually the fisherman's wife who stays and cooks for the extra money.
And we are talking about large mahi mahi and giant squid like the one in the photo.
