Catalan term or phrase: carquiñolis de Llagostera
This is a dessert, so it seems odd that there would be a fish flavour, maybe a fish shape? Carquiñolis I beleive can be biscotti. I think they are they same thing, unless carquiñolis as more than one variation.

I think a lot of places in Catalonia lay claim to one item or another as a local specialty. Where I live in La Garriga it's some chocolate-covered almond slivers they call Garrics.
I'd say Llagostera almond biscuits.

hard almond biscuits


Explanation:
Essential is that it is a HARD and strongly toasted almond biscuit, in very sinuous forms, and typical for the village of Cardedeu, but obviously also baked on Llagostera.

agree  psicutrinius: Llagostera is a town, where they make renowned "carquinyolis" (in Catalan spelling: pronounce in Spanish as written throughout). There are other places where they are made, and delicious too
