Mero

Mero is grouper, a white rock fish from the sea bass family. Its flesh is firm, moist and mild, with few bones, so it holds up well on the grill, in the oven or in stews. As a tapa it often comes grilled, marinated and fried, or in a green parsley sauce. It is a prized, fairly expensive fish.

Salsa Tartara

A cold sauce made from mayonnaise with capers, gherkins, onion and chopped herbs. It is served mainly with fish and fried food.
