The dish

The stock is made every morning with rockfish from the market and the heads of the white prawns; it simmers two hours and is strained fine. The sofrito is ñora, garlic and tomato, very slow. The rice is bomba and served soupy, not creamy: at the end you eat it with a spoon. Monkfish from Caleta market and white prawns from Málaga.

Why it's ordered ahead

A soupy rice done properly takes 40 minutes from the moment the order goes in and won't tolerate hurry or reheating. If you order it when you book, the kitchen has it counted and starts as you sit down. Otherwise, we may not make it.
