Restaurante SUR ( at GRANADELLA BEACH ) : ... at the beautiful 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 !).

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 argentocorazon @ gmail . com [ Xavi with his excellent meat counter has left and set up on his own at Las Marinas ( Denia ) ].

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 & chips of excellent quality . 96 577.0068 / f . Sunday .

JESÚS POBRE Restaurante LA TASCA : Charming Italian owner – set in an attractive courtyard . As it was full we found the service under strain . There is muzak but , mercifully , not in the courtyard . The lentil soup was superb . Renowned for meat cooked on an open-grilled fire yet all choices
