Pescadería Fernando Coucheiro

The best TUNA you can buy in Cádiz. Always 100% quality It's the best you can eat at home and in bars.

 Fernando's hands caressing the excellent bluefin tuna. Fernando Coucheiro (namesake) his explanations of the fresh Bluefin King Tuna from the almadraba, the cuts, the different qualities depending on the area of ​​the fish and that the prices may or may not correspond to the best flavors, convinced me to ask him with many reservations if he could serve me a small cut so that it could be prepared for me nearby. Of course sir, my face lit up, he chose a part with a marbling similar to the best pata negra hams, an area close to the belly, which was not but with an impressive presence, not very pinkish red, like beef with its lighter, more sinuous veins that denote fat and juiciness. I was very grateful for his kind generosity and even more so when the cook at El Carrusel, right there nearby, grilled and in a short time but with great artistry, put it on my plate... umm between my tongue and my palate, without biting into it, it melted like a meringue of sensations at sea Instantly salty. But it was damn delicious. I'd buy more from Fernando if I lived there, but I'll still try from afar. Long live Cadiz, with people like that, there's still a world to be had.
