From a friend in Gran Canaria at a swanky 5* hotel restaurant.
Menu listing gave no clear indication it was literally an opened tinny and packet crisps (unless you know the expensive crisp brand I guess):
Berberechos al natural de Santoña con papas San Nicasio
Natural cockeles wiht San Nicasio Chips
Yes it was sent back.

Looks good actually, not for €17
The food isn’t stupid, the shifty vaguely written menu description and pricing is. At that price this is straight out daylight robbery lol
The food isn’t stupid. The restaurant that priced it is.
This looks like something King Charles would share with his dog
I read it as cookies and could not figure out what the heck kind of cookies those were….
You got swindled.
Cockles are delicious though.
I wonder what the mark up is haha
In the UK, those crisps are £3.75 a bag, and those are super prime cockles, around £10 a tin. So actually about retail cost in euros.
Your view on value may vary, but that’s not as big a rip as you might think.
Seperately, there’s a culture of higher quality, low volume & hand packed tinned fish and seafood across Portugal and parts of Spain – not all tinned foods are cheap mass production.
What is it? Fish mince?
