Bienmesabe

This recipe is a little less known. It comes from the city of Cádiz and consists of a type of crispy fish fritters, very tasty, accompanied by paprika and spices. They are ideal for serving as a snack before dinner, or even while watching a game at home. Of course, they can also replace other fish dishes like the typical Christmas cod.
