The tapas dictionary

ortiguilla
Ortiguilla is a sea anemone gathered from coastal rocks, above all along the coast of Cádiz. It is cleaned carefully, coated in flour and fried in very hot oil. The result is crisp outside and gelatinous inside, with a strongly saline flavour that many people compare to iodine.
