CAZUELA DE FIDEOS, A TYPICAL MÁLAGA DISH

This traditional Málaga dish was made depending on the fish available on the day. Lovers of this stew can make it not only with fish (hake, kingklip, dogfish, prawns, squid, clams, cockles…), but also with a great variety of vegetable ingredients.

Some make it with artichokes or broad beans, green beans or potatoes. Formerly referred to as the “hunger-curbing” stew, it was always a staple on the weekly family menu. A quintessential Málaga experience..
