When cooking time arrives, meat, fish, seafood and the inevitable potato are the favourite ingredients of the Chilotas. In the restaurants one finds barbecue, spareribs, seafood (an authentic seafood binge), curanto en olla (meat and seafood cooked in a hole in the rock), cazuela chilota (lamb meat with hog fat) and chapapeles (wheat flour dough to go with the curanto, a famously appetizing dish found all over the area).

Salmon also has its place in local gastronomy. Even though its appearance is of more recent origin (during the 90's), it is the favourite dish of the foreign tourists.
