AND ANOTHER TIP for FISH
& CHIPS : For excellent FISH
& CHIPS try THE INN on the
GREEN (Bowling Club on the Jávea
- Benitachell road) !!
Restaurante LA CALETA : Avda.
Ultramar 114, Jávea (Cala Blanca).
Excellent, but simple, fish etc. On
the rocks at the southern end of Jávea
bay with just the noise of the sea
(unpolluted by muzak !). Careful what
you order – this isn’t always as cheap
as it appears ! (May - September).
Restaurante LA CANTINA DE
JAVEA : Situate right in front of
the fishing fleet parking area in
Jávea’s port (on the ground floor
right around the back (left side) of
the one storey building by the fishing
boats). Clientele is very Spanish.
Occasionally the best Patatas Bravas
in Jávea ! They are often very busy so
you must go early (say 12:30h). Very
good prices. Their fish menus consist
of the catches of the day. They are
serving all day long (and usually even
after the cinema). Muzak free - not
TV free. 96 579 2190 / open tlj : 7/7.
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 !).
Our absolute favourite for fish and a
beautiful location. Sensational puds
! Highly rated (7½/10) in Spain’s
Gastronomía Guide. Best to book.
Tel : 96 577.1612 / July/Aug daily
10-22h / otherwise open lunch only
(closed mid-Dec - end Feb). http://

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 ……. no further
frozen HERRINGS for the moment
due to change of supplier in Holland.
