El Yerno is the “new kid on the block” in Málaga’s central market and offers much the same fare as the long-standing Café-Bar Atarazanas. The main differences are that it also has a few meat options as well as a few more wines by the glass. The grilled prawns are lovely, as are the boquerones al limón (my favourite way to eat them, cleaned and then marinated in lemon before deep-frying, so no pesky bones). I guess time will tell if it becomes as popular as its neighbour at the other end of the hall.
