Cádiz is renowned for its tuna fishing, there is a certain time every year when the wild tuna come through the straights and half the male population go to catch them, it is a tradition.

The food there is superb, and it is probably the best for miles around, but menu del dia? At the Califa? That is a hotel, and quite a serious one. We only go there to celebrate, when we have a bit of cash, or a visitor wants to treat us in return for staying with us! |

Horrific, another "quaint" tradition:thumbdown: If I ever go out fishing with family I can't bare to see a fish caught, I go away when the lines go off:( |

Nice hotel, we have stayed there twice. Much as I like Spanish food, we normally eat their "North African" type cuisine when we are there. A nice change, a bit different from the usual run of the mill Spanish menu. Can't say that the hotel or it's food struck me as particularly expensive, it's value for money. Can't be too pricey if we stayed there!;)

And I guess what you ate was "Tortillitas de camerones" which is very traditional in Cádiz province. As long as they are fresh from the oil these are delicious. I just get the feeling you dont know what you are talking about jackytoo, so you'd rather dismiss what you dont know as rubbish? |

If you eat battery chicken, you can't complain about cruelty elsewhere.

Little trick they do in some places is serve you panga instead of mero. Panga being much cheaper, hope you can tell the difference.:thumbup:

If panga is so similar that it can be confused with mero, I'd be surprised as I've seen negative comments about its texture and taste. Mero is pretty good. |

It's called providing for your family. As human beings we need to eat food. Catching tuna during the migration is no worse than anything else. Maybe you should go on a tour of a modern battery farm?

...bet you have eaten loads in your extensive travels:rofl:
What you will eat in say Oviedo, San Sebastian, Barcelona and Málaga will be completely different types of cuisine. I once heard on TV from a Spanish chef that the only dish that the whole of Spain shares is the tortilla de patata. |

To me, mero is like haddock or sea bass, a good quality, firm white fish.

Believe me what the Spanish have has no relation to Brake Bros. They even sell cottage pies, lasagne etc in individual pottery dishes, ready cooked just microwave and serve. This allows the premises, mainly pubs to serve up grub apparently home made.
Chips and potato products have been frozen and used in eating establishments in Spain and Uk for years. Graham Even some of our customers are suggesting that we should be serving stuffed croquettes, albondigas, deep fried Camembert and the like bought from the frozen food van as served in the bars and ventas. There is also a local tapa producer who supplies many of the local bars with their trays of Ensalada Rusa, Carne con tomate and all the other standard tapas. (I often wondered how so many bars managed to sell identical tapas.) I've nothing against it - the quality is OK - but we won't do it. Everything we serve (with the exception of Cumberland sausages and puddings) is home made from basic ingredients. |
