Why eat here
- Cheap, fast, and fried in clean oil — this is Tétouan's answer to a Spanish chiringuito. A cone of boquerones on the walk back from the museum is one of the city's better small pleasures.
Fish Corner
Tetouan
Fish Corner is a cash-only hole-in-the-wall near Avenue Mohammed V, serving paper cones of fried fish and seafood all day. Run by a family from Fnideq, the fryer runs on a small menu of boquerones, calamari rings, shrimp, and hake goujons. There are four stools at the counter; most people take the food to go and walk to the nearest bench.
Best time
- Mid-afternoon — after the lunch rush, before the dinner queue. The fish is at its best right after the midday catch arrives from M'diq.
How to combine
- Quick lunch on the go: Archaeological Museum → Fish Corner cone → walk through the Ensanche to Place Hassan II.
