Fish Fry — Pescaíto Frito for Sharing at Taperia La Mina
Our Fish Fry (Pescaíto Frito) is a spectacular 800g platter of mixed fried seafood designed for sharing. A generous combination of tender squid rings, fresh anchovies, chunks of hake, and whole prawns are coated in light, crispy batter and fried in premium olive oil until golden. This is one of the most beloved dishes in Andalusian cuisine — the ultimate social eating experience.
The Andalusian Art of Pescaíto Frito
Pescaíto frito — literally “fried little fish” — is the most iconic coastal dish of southern Spain. In Andalusia, from the terraces of Málaga to the beach bars of Cádiz, this is the dish that defines summer. The secret is simple: the freshest seafood, a light coating of flour, very hot olive oil, and timing. At Taperia La Mina, we follow this proud tradition with a mixed fry that showcases the best of the sea.
What’s in Our Mixed Fry
Our generous platter includes several varieties of seafood, each prepared to highlight its unique qualities. The anchovies are fried whole until shatteringly crispy. The hake is cut into chunks and coated in light batter that fries up golden and crunchy. The squid rings have a satisfying chew, while the prawns inside the batter turn sweet and juicy. The variety means there is something for everyone on the plate.
The Perfect Sharing Experience
This platter is made for sharing. Place it in the center of the table, squeeze fresh lemon over everything, and let everyone dig in. Pair it with a cold glass of manzanilla sherry or a refreshing beer. For the ultimate coastal feast, add our Garlic Prawns and Seafood Salad. Experience Andalusian coastal cuisine at Taperia La Mina.
