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 cafAŠs 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 FAŠlix 15, nearby, is one of the best fish restaurants in AndalucAa - their
menA?
is good value - with an equally outstanding tapas bar attached.
