Unfortunately no. According to research that Dan did, the last corvina bites may have been back in 2003ish. The salinity levels are making it difficult for certain species to breed let alone survive. We saw some fish boiling but could not confirm if they were corvina.

They were definitely still around as late as 2003 (8 years ago) but unfortunately, might now be gone for good.
Supposedly, the salinity level keeps going up year after year, and estimations are that by 2017, the tilapia won't even ben able to survive, basically turning it into a giant brine reservoir.

That's some pretty cool color - I've never seen Tilapia that color at the fish market. They're all dull grey.

I'll let you know Sunday. My In-Laws are coming over and I'm having a fish fry.
They are definitely much more colorful than I've seen at any market.
