Overview

Menu
1. Big Fat Tapas
  Tapas originated in Andalusia, Southern Spain, where a small 'tapa' was served with drinks in bars. Often just a slice of cured meat or piece of cheese. According to culinary legend these 'tapa' were used to cover wine glasses, this to keep the aroma in and the flies out. The Big Fat Fish takes tapas to a new gastronomic high... with no flies...
