There are places where you can eat quality seafood without having to put your two kidneys in Wallapop. These establishments are as rare as the Madridistas on the left, they are not easy to find, because in this matter of molluscs and crustaceans, prices have shot up since the first Cro-Magnon who decided to peel a prawn. But there are those few cookers and popular market stalls, with tradition, who prefer to sell a lot and affordably to perhaps less quantity and expensive.
And here we are, as always, to collect good references to go to eat in as many categories as we can think of. This time we have called comidisters and experts beyond our website to recommend places with a single requirement: that they have quality seafood at good prices. Galicia, Andalusia or Madrid: the area of the selected premises is not a problem, because if something is clear, it is that some prawns are good anywhere. So, this is the list of cookers to go to so you can enjoy the taste of the sea while your uric acid rises:
GALICIA
“Pepe do Coxo is a tavern located in the port of O Freixo, on the Muros y Noia estuary, well known for its oysters. This town is one of the few places in Galicia that has a bank of this mollusk nearby, and when there is availability, which is not always, they are famous for serving them”, says the gastronomic communicator Jorge Guitian. “It’s a fairly popular place to eat seafood at a good price, because it’s still a tavern, of course,” adds Jorge, who runs the agency alongside Anna Mayer.

Jorge Guitián’s next recommendation is A Centoleira, in the Pontevedra estuary: “This is one of the oldest restaurants in Galicia, it is more than a century old, and it is a classic place to go to eat seafood from anywhere in the region. It is not very cheap, because the big difference with other places is that they only work with fresh, quality and seasonal products”. “Even so”, continues Jorge, “they have different modalities that allow you to have a feast as well as contain the price if you want it to”.

The last place that this gastronome recommends visiting is A Lonxa, in Burela, one of the main ports of the Galician Bay of Biscay. “On the top floor of the fish market building, at the end of a corridor, in a rather unlikely place, is the cafeteria of this public center. It doesn’t have a lot of charm, but it does have very good local and seasonal fish and shellfish, such as sea urchins, razor clams or a crab salad that is great”. As for the prices, Guitián assures that they are very contained, “considering that you are taking fresh products.”

ANDALUSIA
This place located in the center of El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz) has been open for a little less than a year, but in this time it has already convinced Inma Garridoeditor-in-chief of the magazine caps: “It is an informal place with very affordable prices, but the best thing is that they are the tavern of a fishmonger with a similar name -Bendita Madness-, so you can eat super-fresh fish and seafood. They offer rations by weight and they always have some specials of the day that leave you speechless: for example, a kilo of galleys and a spider crab to eat there, 20 euros”. In addition, Inma says that they do home delivery themselves, in case you prefer to order food for home.

“El Yerno is the bar that every market would like to have. Despite the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to set foot in the Atarazanas market in Malaga, it is worth sticking your neck out to find a place in its metal bar, especially at the aperitif time”, promises the commissioner Lakshmi Aguirre. “Between ‘give me a kilo of tomato from Coín’ and ‘put on 250 butter color‘, there is always room for a frozen beer and a portion of thin shells or white prawns that clatter like angels on the griddle,” says Lakshmi, who points out that “Paco and his crew also embroider the fried fish they buy from their neighbors” .

ASTURIAS
“A medium spider crab, weighing less than a kilo, at Bar El Café in Oviñana, a beautiful town by the sea in western Asturias, will cost you 18 euros. And that, with how well Rosa cooks things from the sea, is a gift that is not going to hurt anything to pay, “he declares Miguel Llanogastronomic journalist and director of the project restaurant giftit is. “You can also ask for their spider crab salpicón, which comes out for 22 euros, and an andarica -nécora-, one per person, for five euros. And to enjoy the liturgy”, recommends Miguel.

According to Miguel Llano, the brothers Carlos and Javier Suárez opened their first seafood restaurant in Avilés in 1995, and later another in Granda, in the council of Siero, “and since they started they offer the barge, a small fisherman’s boat that comes with between two and two and a half kilos of spider crab, crab, Norway lobsters, prawns, prawns, small crabs, periwinkles, scallops and mussels”. The price for marine festival size, 50 euros. “I can’t imagine the hours it would take you if you faced that ship alone. It is, at least, for two people”, comments this Asturian journalist, who assures that the one of these premises “is a formula of success”.

CANARY ISLANDS
We are now going to the Canary Islands, because on the same Taliarte pier, on the island of Gran Canaria, there is the recommendation of the gastronomic journalist vanessa santana: “This place only offers seasonal products: you find shrimp when they are in season, limpets, deep-sea and rock crabs, mussels… You get there and the question is: ‘What’s today?’”. “My advice is to try the shrimps, which are eaten as if they were sunflower seeds, you can’t stop. In addition, they also have fish, like old fries or on the back”, says Vanessa, who comments that, being a brotherhood, the food is cheaper than in a restaurant. “Here there are no intermediaries, they buy directly from the fishermen, so the product is fresh and without a disproportionate increase in cost,” concludes Santana.

CATALONIA
“It’s like a fish market, but they cook your fish and shellfish there however you like, and they also sell drinks to go with it. You order by weight or by unit, in the case of crabs or lobsters, which allows you to order something varied even if you go alone”, describes the editor-in-chief commissioner Monica Escudero. “The preparations are usually quite simple -steamed or marinera mussels, grilled clams…-, they cook the shellfish well and don’t overdo it, which for me is basic, and the prices are quite reasonable”, continues Escudero. , which advises going early because it fills up and there are long queues.
