Take-away fried fish was invented in CA?diz (despite English claims to the contrary) and there are numerous freidurA­as (fried-fish shops) around the town as well as stands along the beach in season; few eating experiences here can beat strolling the city streets while dipping into a cartucho (paper funnel) of pescado frito . In the bars, tortilla de camarones (shrimp omelette) is another superb local speciality.

A couple of freidurA­as worth seeking out are the FreidurA­a Las Flores on the square of the same name and the equally good FreidurA­a Sopranis , c/Sopranis 2, just off Plaza San Juan de Dios . The Plaza de San Juan de Dios, protruding across the neck of the peninsula from the port and the first long stretch of CA?diz's naval dockyards, has several cafA©s and inexpensive restaurants . In the square's southwest corner, Pasaje Andaluz , with a terrace, and the nearby and diminutive El Quinto Pino , c/San Fernando 2, are good places to try. Superior quality fare is to be had at the popular Restaurante Achuri , c/Plocia 15 off the square's northern end (closed Sun-Wed evenings), serving up some excellent Basque and andaluz -inspired dishes in a pleasant setting. For fish you must also visit the tiny Plaza TA­o de la Tiza , in the old fishing quarter near the beach, which has dozens of good fish places, with outdoor tables filling the surrounding streets in summer. The more upmarket El Faro , c/San FA©lix 15, nearby, is one of the best fish restaurants in AndalucA­a - their menA? is good value - with an equally outstanding tapas bar attached.
