Seville is experiencing its most special week of the year, the one in which the most flamenco and Andalusian atmosphere roams freely through the city and the Real de la Feria de Abril. There, between dances, sevillanas and gypsy costumes, there is also luxurious food and drink. Rebujito in hand and a varied menu of dishes and tapas with sausages, cheeses, seasoned potatoes or salmorejo in which a star product cannot be missing: the fried 'pescaíto'. Dogfish, squid, squid, anchovies, tipillitas, cuttlefish or mullet compete to fill the fritters and make delights in the middle of the Seville Fair.
Although the recipe is as simple as flouring the fish in question and frying it in hot oil, cooking has its tricks and the magic is finding the perfect point between the crunchiness of the batter and the tenderness and juicyness of the fish, and then dressing it with a touch of lemon to taste. For many it is more than just a dish. Something like a sensory experience that evokes the aromas and flavors of the fair, where it is one of the most typical foods.
At the Freiduría Venécora de Lo Pagán you can choose the fish for a personalized frying
But far from the Andalusian city and the celebrations of the moment, battered seafood cuisine can also be enjoyed no less than 600 kilometers away. The coast of the Region of Murcia is another hotbed of fried fish that are repeated throughout the year and multiply with the arrival of good weather. An example of this is the Venécora fry shop, in Lo Pagán, one of the most recognized places to pay tribute to fresh seafood. Its self-service mode allows you to create your own dishes by choosing your favorite fish to fry from the counter and also choosing the quantities.
