Zarzeula??
 

Has anyone had one - can you recommend it?? Saw it advertised in Bar Coral last time we ate there but requires 24 hours notice, is it fish based or a combination of fish and meat??

Found this recipe online, I'm veggie so never had it, hopefully someone can tell you what it tastes like
