There's no candy to be found here in flip-top containers. "Pez cotorra," noted the man behind the counter, should have been printed "pescado cotorra," maintaining a common Spanish-language distinction between food fish still swimming free (pez) and caught or prepared (pescado). On offer at this Dominican seafood restaurant: a species of parrotfish that can be colorful enough to pass as Pez but is much harder to catch hold of.
