Here in Seville, it’s an unrivaled staple of local cuisine and even enjoys a place of honor on the menu at the annual Feria de Abril<\/a>. However, no matter what time of year you find yourself in town, you can enjoy our favorite pesca\u00edto frito <\/em>at Freidur\u00eda La Isla<\/a>.

Patio San Eloy is a favorite among locals for these yummy bites. While they have three locations here in Seville, we’re fans of their flagship bar on Calle San Eloy just north of the city center. Here, you can enjoy their meal on their colorful ceramic benches built right into the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
