Cooking Easter Island

The local food is inspired by Chilean cuisine with various fish and seafood dishes. Conger, sea perch, swordfish and stockfish are served grilled or fried. Shellfish (sea urchins, crabs, clams) are served plain or in a bouillabaisse. Also try some typical dishes such as cazuela (chicken and corn soup), ajiaco (spiced beef stew) and choclo pastel (chopped meat with onions and dry raisins grilled in the oven). Tomatoes, avocados, and cilantro flavour salads and sandwiches. The best-known Chilean wines are available. There is also beer and pisco, a grape liqueur that is transformed in pisco when you add lemon and sugar.
