Georgina Recommends – Crispy Cod, Fuengirola
It’s not often that we get dragged out of the confines of Marbella, but now that we’ve discovered Crispy Cod we’ll have to head down to Fuengirola more often! This is your classic British Fish & Chip Shop with all your favourites cooked just the way you remember it, but in the picturesque location of Fuengirola’s Paseo Maritimo and it’s well worth the trip.
The location– Come off the motorway at the first Fuengirola exit if coming from Marbella, just after the castle , and head to the sea, then head along the Paseo towards the centre of town and Crispy Cod is just a few blocks down by the Hotel Las Piramides. It’s a great location, overlooking the beach and sea with cracking people watching potential. They take advantage of the great spot with a comfortable terrace where you can have a beer or a cuppa with your fish and chips and be happy you left England behind, but that these guys were kind enough to bring the great food with them.
The food– Yum, yum – the menu had me drooling and torn about what to have, I hadn’t had fish and chips for five years so the smell brought back lots of memories. I was surprised by how much choice there was with options including 100% Irish beef burgers, Pukka pies, battered sausages, fish cakes, pickled eggs and even pineapple fritters.
