March 20 to 29 A fishy gastronomic special at 14 restaurants in Águilas!

Águilas celebrates the local fish farming industry with a corvina salmon-bass special

The gastronomic calendar of Águilas continues to provide special occasions for those who enjoy the local produce and cuisine, the latest event being 10 days of gastronomy between 20^th and 29^th March featuring the locally farmed “corvina” salmon-bass as a star ingredient.

The event was presented by the local eateries association Hosteaguilas on 11^th March at the home of the Culmarex company, which operates the fish farming concerns just off the Águilas coastline, and celebrates the “corvina” farmed so successfully in the area for the last 30 years. 14 restaurants are taking part, each offering a different gastronomic take on the fish through both traditional and innovative recipes, with prices varying from one establishment to another: some are main courses while others are small tapas.

On the final day of the event, Sunday 29^th March, there is a chance to take a boat trip at 12.00 midday and see for yourself the offshore facilities of the company in a guided tour explaining how the operation is managed and of course with a tasting of the end result! This trip is on board the Don Pancho boat and is a joint venture with Restaurante Punta Negra, costing 10 euros – this price is available at the restaurant for all those showing their boat ticket.

Reservations are available by email at info@hosteaguilas.com.

The restaurants taking part are Tiburón, Barr6, Ginés, Mi Barquito, La Taberna Mediática, Varadero, Tumaca, Ramonetero, Casa Bartolo, Zoco del Mar, Costa Azul, Pecado, Centro de Interpretación Cuatro Calas and Punta Negra, and each of them will display a QR which enables you to see all of the dishes offered.
