I LOVE the croquettes at Boqueria! Six little croquettes are served in a long slender dish. There are two each of three varieties. The flavors on the menu change but I’ve tasted the salt cod, mushroom and Serrano ham. The three different types are shaped distinctively but I enjoy not knowing what’s what until I bite into them. The outer crust is thick and crunchy. The mushroom is like a rich, cream of mushroom soup, deep-fried and encapsulated into bite-sized snacks. The codfish and jámon fillings are equally smooth and velvety, calling out for me to order more.
