Cod v Haddock, which is best in Torrevieja Costa Blanca Spain - Between the Lakes with Mike & Yvonne
Episode 135 - Cod v Haddock, which is best in Torrevieja Costa Blanca Spain Between the Lakes with Mike & Yvonne
We cycle on our e-bikes the six miles on the excellent cycle tracks on the CV905 to Ciudad Quesada. We go to Quesada Fish and Chips, Yvonne orders Haddock and Mike orders Cod.
Ciudad Quesada hosts this well-established business that offers fish and chips and many other dishes at great value.

Loved the drone footage of Quesada. Don't really know the area other than Aldi, Consum and The Food Co so it was nice to see it from another angle. Thanks for another great video

A few years ago, a couple who had had a few too many in Porterhouse, took the same short cut as you guys. We were watching, then the wife disappeared down the slope at the concrete wall. About 6 feet drop.Hubby tried to help, he also disappeared. I waited a few minutes. No sign of them. Went to help, both all cuts and bruises 😅😅

Morning Mike & Yvonne 👋 .... a rather nice day out in Quesada ( its our place of choice to stay)....the restaurant is an ideal place for a good quality plate of food at very reasonable prices. You can't go wrong with any of their meals !😋 Have a great week ahead, 3 2 1 ping! Adios! 🍻

We used to love going to Quesada Fish and Chips 2 when they were in Villamartin Plaza. WE took some French friends and they were hooked on fish and chips especially mushy peas. I managed to teach them how to make a chip butty ! We were so disappointed when that branch moved to La Finca on the way to Cabo Roig. Best fish and chips in Spain !!! Another great video you two - always a pleasure to see your vids, All the best.

Hi Marco, yes we have tried Tweetys and it's great. Both produce first-class fish and chips. The main difference is the size of the business and the menus, but when all is said and done it's good for the consumer to be able to make their choices. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.

Hi Sean, thanks for watching...
Have you tried the Economy Cash Spanish supermarket on Toretta Florida next to St James Gate, its even cheaper. But of course it has not many english products. Quesada Fish and Chips is very good, but the service can be a bit variable, off peak hours they tend to cut down on staff and the poor girls are running round like headless chicken.
