When I first read  about the new Fish and Chip shop in Puerto del Carmen – Double Six – I knew it was somewhere that I would want to go. Could they really get the batter right, as they were claiming?

What’s good: the food is tasty and reasonably priced. There is even a children’s portion, which makes a change from some of the menus in the area who mostly have the same options for them.

What’s not so good: although you can get other things you might expect at a fish’n’chip shop, such as battered sausages, there is not a wide choice of fish. Just cod.

The highlight: at the end of the meal you get to throw a pair of dice and if you get a double six then you only pay for the drinks – the food is on the house.

Alas, the dice were not on our side…
