Tapas: Seafood Skewers
Dinner @ Tapa Tapa, which is a (rather touristy) chain of restaurants in Barcelona. We went because our Hotel in Barcelona, offered us discount vouchers. The food is a tad disappointing, just mediocre at best for the price we paid...even though there was a discount. One of our orders took ages to arrive. Tapas - do you need half an hour to prepare them?
This order arrived late. When we asked the waitress if they had forgotten the order, she claimed that the kitchen was busy. Seafood skewers - half an hour to prepare them? I was tempted to ask if they were fishing the items out of the ocean.
And they were not the best either. While the pieces did not smell bad, they were obviously not fresh - and likely to be frozen. They were not well marinated, probably only with a sprinkle of salt. Unfortunately, when one cooked with frozen seafood, you need more than salt to mask that slight amine note that had developed.
