Fritura malagueña · Málaga
The mixed fried-fish platter that defines Málaga's coast: anchovies, small squid, red mullet and whitebait fried together in olive oil until crisp and golden.
The fritura malagueña is the house version of pescaíto frito, a mixed fry that puts the bay's small fish on one plate. It grew out of the fishing quarters of El Palo and El Perchel, where the day's catch was floured and fried for a quick, cheap meal. The exact mix shifts with the season, but anchovies, squid, whitebait and small red mullet are the constants, always served hot with lemon.
