La Vaca Azul

We found a delectable solution to our lunchtime hunger pains at La Vaca Azul, the most happening place in El Cotillo. Here is a view from their outside seating overlooking the sea.
And here is their mascot! My friend's dad claims that if a restaurant has an animal and a color in the title it is almost certain it will be delicious. As you can see below this was not an exception to the rule!
After looking around the restaurant and gazing at the gorgeous view and neon blue cow we sat down at our table and a few moments later the waitress approached and greeted us in halting English. She then said, "Six people? I bring fish for six, ok?" We all looked around at each other trying to make an on the spot decision, simultaneously shrugged deciding to go with the flow and do the Canarian thing, and all chimed si por favore! I was actually a little reluctant because we had been perusing the menu and I was dying to try the paella, but I rationalized that the waitress probably knows best. A couple minutes later she came back with a large platter and two very dead yet very fresh fish, she told us to choose one and she would make it muy delicioso for us. I think we stared in disbelief for a couple seconds before eeny meeny miny moing ourselves to a decision. We waited, all the while dying of curiosity. Luckily we had a few culinary distractions in the mean time.
The sangria they brought us was to die for. They added cinnamon to their brew which was an unusual, but extremely delicious addition. We munched on assorted starters such as calamari, salad, goat cheese, and baked peppers until the main course(the whole fish with skin and eyeballs still intact) arrived. We watched as the waitress cleaned each portion and set it on the plate. I could barely wait to dig in and as soon as we all had a plate in front of us we attacked the food before us with gusto. I must say this was a great meal, I enjoyed every moment of it, I bet Mr. Tom Colicchio himself would have peed his pants out of pure foodie joy.
