Andalucía – and Cádiz in particular – has the most fabulous array of seafood. On our way down there last weekend, Maria was waxing lyrical about “camarones”, tiny shrimp sold in cups or cones, eaten on the go, just as they come. And, as you can see, she found some:
The little blighters didn’t stand a chance…
Fresh sea urchins, anyone?
… you do eat them raw, although, unlike the camarones, without the shell, I suppose 😉
Some cod’s roe…
…made into a colourful salad. Tasty and nutritious!
The shrimp frittatas in the background were divine 🙂
And, to finish off on a complete non sequitur, some puzzling… uhm… street art:
Make of it what you will…

The seafood looks yummy. As for the art, it’s clearly a hermaphrodite wearing an Angry Birds knit hat on his/her man-parts. 🙂

I’ll take the urchins before Latvia comes and beats me with her witty interpretation.

I have a feeling she won’t fight you for them…

Raw? um…maybe not! I like to make sure the food I eat is very dead, preferably fried and lathered in spices.
As for the art – I’m not sure I can better Nancy’s interpretation.

I think it’s dead alright 😉
But am with you on the spices front, definitely.
As for the wall scrawl, I’ve got my hopes pinned on Linda and on Kim. Let’s wait and see…

I’ll take the shrimp frittatas, but you can keep the rest! As for the street art, well I have known women with balls, but this one takes the biscuit – or cake if you prefer!

Yum, pass me a frittata please! That’s a comment on the food, not the “art” by the way.

And, I will also pass on the fresh sea urchins. Who wants to eat wearing rubber gloves?!

I don’t like the texture 😦 And I’ve only ever tried them cooked.

Raw shrimp?? Eeeeew. I’m not even that keen on them cooked – more than 1 or 2 and I feel a bit sick. I don’t even want to imagine what they taste like raw
The street art is… interesting. It appears to be a headless woman giving birth to a dragon?

They were rather crunchy 😉
That’s why I always use a condom.

I know… they have some fantastic fried fish, with a really thin, tasty batter – delicious! I’d never had that anywhere, and I’m not usually that keen on battered fried fish.

And you have to eat the tiny shrimps in the cups raw? The shrimp frittatas look divine 🙂
LikeLike
Yes, raw, with shells on and everything. I much preferred the frittatas, which also contain the whole little creature providing just the perfect degree of crunchiness 😉
