Fish<\/strong> and seafood<\/strong> are commonplace on almost every menu in the Catalan capital, but if you are a connoisseur, then let us provide you with the insider knowledge on the very best places to go. Whether you are looking for razor clams, freshly caught fish,<\/strong> or grilled squid, the very best places to dine in Barcelona are as follows:<\/p>\n

Passad\u00eds Del Pep<\/strong>
\nPla de Palau, 2, 08003 Barcelona
\nwww.passadis.com\/<\/strong><\/p>\n

We love this place because it\u2019s where the locals go. The restaurant\u2019s<\/strong> catch is\u00a0delivered daily from local businesses on the coast. There is menu, as the dishes\u00a0depend on what was caught that day. Which means fresh, fresh, fresh. Expect spectacular seafood<\/strong> and some Catalan favourites, such as cured ham, tomato bread and freshly grilled vegetables.<\/p>\n

Botafumeiro<\/strong>
\nCarrer Gran de Gr\u00e0cia, 81, 08012 Barcelona
\nwww.botafumeiro.es\/<\/strong><\/p>\n

This authentic establishment is one of the most revered in Barcelona, serving classic seafood<\/strong> delights from both Catalonia and Galicia. Prices aren\u2019t cheap but you don\u2019t have to go for the impressive seafood<\/strong> platter (Safata Especial de Mar Cantabric), you can order media raciones (half portions), which are like tapas portions but bigger.<\/p>\n

One of their specialties is percebes, a bizarre looking barnacle that is found in the North Atlantic coast near Galicia. Considered a delicacy in these parts. Apparently.<\/p>\n

Expect high quality food in elegant surroundings.<\/p>\n

Can Ros<\/strong>
\nCarrer l’Almirall Aixada, 7, 08003 Barcelona
\nwww.canros.cat\/<\/strong><\/p>\n

A family restaurant<\/strong> for five generations, Can Ros<\/strong> first opened its doors in 1911 and has been a Catalan favourite ever since.<\/p>\n

Along with fresh juicy fish,<\/strong> Can Ros<\/strong> also serve a delicious seafood<\/strong> rice, a noodle-type dish called fideu\u00e1<\/a> (which is very similar to paella) served with chunks of squid and mussels, and a marvellous grilled fish<\/strong> \u00a0platter.<\/p>\n

With its picturesque setting this beautifully quaint family-run restaurant<\/strong> in the neighbourhood of Poblenou serves fantastic fish<\/strong> and seafood<\/strong> dishes, such as paella<\/a> and simple grilled fish. It consists of several dining areas with the main and best one built in a traditional tavern style. There are seats outdoor as well for the warmer days.<\/p>\n

The menu changes daily depending on the morning\u2019s catch, so expect everything to be fresh and cooked to perfection.<\/p>\n

Can Sole
\n<\/strong>Carrer de Sant Carles, 4, 08003 Barcelona
\nwww.restaurantcansole.com\/<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can Sole<\/strong> is steeped in history and feels authentically classic and Catalan. Located a stone\u2019s throw from the sea\u00a0in Barceloneta, Can Sole<\/strong> serves a great range of fine seafood and other Catalan dishes. The setting is traditional and unassuming and the produce is fresh and combines the very best of Mediterranean, Marine and Catalan cuisine.<\/p>\n

There we go. The best seafood restaurants in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
