Bacalao, in croqueta form

Madrilenos love to snack on croquetas, particularly the kind filled with creamy potato and pieces of bacalao, otherwise known as cod.

Having refused to eat the fine offerings of easyJet cuisine I needed a quick pitstop upon my arrival in Sol metro station. Casa Labra (Calle Tetuan 12), fellow foodies had blogged, was a good place to catch some croquetas filled with bacalao. Meaty cod, enrobed in creamy and slightly sweet potato, was adequately encased in crispy breadcrumb coating. Pretty tasty but nothing overly spectacular.
