Javea Grapevine 338 | Page 153

Granadella creek (down off the Cabo de la Nao and the No.1 beach of the Marina Alta); certainly the best fish restaurant in Jávea (they own their own boat and sometimes have an extraordinary variety !).  Our absolute favourite for fish and a beautiful location.  Sensational puds !  Highly rated (7½/10) in Spain’s Gastronomía Guide.  Best to book. 96 577 1612  /  July/Aug daily 10-22h / otherwise open lunch only (closed mid-Dec - end Feb).  http://www.restaurantesur. com/ At CALPE’s (fishing) HARBOUR : The harbour at CALPE is a great place for fish ! Any restaurant will entice you in with marvellous displays of fresh fish.  There is nothing like this anywhere else we know of (except Dubai !).  Strongly recommended. FISH ITEM (retail)! Outside the Ermita supermarket (by the little church on the Jávea to Jesús Pobre road) at 10:00h on a Saturday morning is to be found an enterprising Dutchman (Arjen) who is selling fresh martjes, smoked eel, roll-mops, smoked mackerel, buckling (a herring smoked whole – as opposed to kippers which are smoked flat), smoked trout and potted shrimps ……. There are no further frozen HERRINGS for the moment due to change of supplier in Holland. Orders to : 667 997300 (every Sat. morning from 10:00h) or [email protected] [ Xavi with his excellent meat counter has left and set up on his own. Anyone know where, please ? ]. Arjen is in MORAIRA on Thursdays 10 - 14h at Tabaira – Palco. At the NTV Club in Denia on Wednesday; at the Fustera supermarket on Friday. INCODNITO Fish ‘n’ Chips: Jávea, Arenal beach, on main car park.  It is not usual for such an establishment to find its way onto this list but it has proved to be very reliable with both fresh fish and chips of excellent quality.  96 577.0068 / f.
