Matalascañas, as a good Huelva coastal nucleus, has in its gastronomy a clear reflection of the fishing tradition that prevails in the area. The famous white prawn of the Costa de la Luz is perhaps the star product of a locality that also offers a wide variety of fish and seafood, including prawns, prawns, crayfish, corvinas and a long list of highly demanded species. At lunchtime in Matalascañas, apart from sea products, it is possible to find recipes typical of the interior where autochthonous meats such as Mostrenca (or Marismeña) cows, rabbit stews, stews and lamb ribs, as well as all kinds of vegetablesare the protagonists.
The wines made in the province and some pastry specialties typical of this area, such as the alfajores, complete the offer of everything that needs to be eaten in Matalascañas.
