Super local handout focused on fried seafood of a wide variety.
Everything was deep fried, but done well. Juicy in the middle and crunchy on the outside. Portions were also generous, so the 250gm portions are sizeable.
Seasoning however, was another matter. I love salt as it is, and I did feel that they were a little heavy here. It overpowered the seafood-ness and also raised my heart rate a fair bit. Had to order another beer and cleans my palate with bread to get over the sodium!

Cuando me reponga de la decepción quizás me pase a ver si a los chipirones -que siempre han estado estupendos- les ha pasado lo mismo. De momento, retiro mi recomendación del cazón en adobo y no me vale que está igual que el de "Las Flores" porque este último freidor hace tiempo que...
