El Anzuelo Restaurant

Maria Hierro, known as Mariquita Hieroo, started a gastronomic tradition in Fuerteventura with her restaurant, El Cotillo.

Today their grandchildren continue the tradition with two more restaurants, El Cangrejo in Puerto del Rosario, the capital of the island, and the Anzuelo in Corralejo where we eat, or, better said, where we stuffed ourselves.

The terrace was practically hanging above the port, and from there you can see all the ferrys, windsurfers, canoes, and other boats happening in Corralejo.

They specialize in fish, shellfish, and traditional dishes from the Canary Islands. They served is a previously set menu with ten dishes to choose from: fruit salad, salmon and ham, lobster cocktail, stuffed peppers, stewed octopus, tuna tacos, seasoned tomato salad, beef, deserts, café con leche, and liquor from the Canary Islands.

After an intense morning practising windsurf, we went to the port of Corralejo to have lunch in El Anzuelo restaurant. Even though we had lunch on the terrace, the dining room has amazing views of the bay through big windows, and is decorated with sailor stuff.

El Anzuelo is specialized in fish, seafruit and typical dishes of canarian food. Our menu included several dishes to share: fruit salad, salmon and ham, shrimps cocktail, stuffed peppers, octopus, tuna, tomato salad, steaks... Everything was delicious, specially the octopus and the steaks.

We also had two typical products of canarian food: gofio, with raw onions (that I did not really like), and majorero cheese (goat and sheep) with the tomato salad.
