For upscale versions of Chamorro classics, head to Meskla, a Chamorro fusion bistro located in downtown Hagatna. Newbies to Chamorro food can get a taste of everything with Meskla’s Chamoru Platter, which includes fried reef fish, tinala katni (dried beef), kelaguen (a ceviche-like starter), salad, red rice, and titiyas (tortillas). I always order the fresh fried parrotfish, doused in finadene—a local condiment that Meskla prepares in several different ways.
