Bacalao a la portuguesa – salt cod with chickpeas
This is a wonderful way of preparing the bacalao and creating an authentic Mediterranean dish out of ingredients you can not call fresh at all (dried chickpeas and salted cod)...

Fried peppers
One of the most iconic recipes of Spanish cuisine and maybe also one of the most "emperor is naked" one. The fried peppers are present in many dishes as a perfect garnish of fish and meat as well as i

Emblanco – horse mackerel soup
This is certainly the most typical, authentic, but also a little bit weird fish soup from malagan cuisine. I say strange because it is definitely not the type of universally appealing dish...

Pickled fried anchovies (escabeche)
This is a traditional, very clever way of preserving redundant, fried fish, in this case, anchovies. I come from middle Europe and we have exactly the same way of preserving fish, albeit anchovy is us

Smooth clams al pil pil
The smooth clams are the most iconic shellfish from Málaga. It is nowhere in the world as popular as on the malagan coast and it is mainly in the malagan waters where the smooth clams are harvested.

Gazpachuelo – white fish soup
If this soup does not convince you about the originality of malagan cuisine, then nothing will. The recipe has both its coastal and inland variation but it is the fish and seafood version...

Gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns)
This a lovely, extremely simple recipe, which most of the places not only in Málaga get wrong by overcooking the prawns. There is a formula 1 changing tyres situation after the dish is done because it
