The sea is a stone throw away and that’s where most of the food on the menu is sourced from, inside a mile radius! This is the kind of fish restaurant I was hoping I would find when I came to Galicia, and sure enough I did. The setting was picture perfect. For starters I asked Gonzales if he could arrange a mixed pot of cockles and clams. He kindly offered a taster bowl of traditional chick pea stew and homemade crusty bread as I waited for the food. The shellfish arrived within minutes, gently pan steamed in their own liquor, finished with a drizzle of olive oil and a drop of fresh lemon. Super tender clams and meaty cockles, for a perfect starter. For mains I ordered red mullet. Enhanced the flavor of already gorgeous thick slices of steamed Spanish potatoes with a drizzle of ext v olive oil, a light sprinkle of chives and sea salt… Nothing overpowering, nothing is taking the stage from the main act; Red Mullet, king of the fish, dusted lightly with flour and perfectly pan fried, served whole My house Albarinio white was the perfect companion for the mullet. Well I had to order another one! After my second cup of coffee I struck a very engaging chat with the chef Lise, thanks partly to Google translate. We shared a toast of his homemade coffee whiskey, very smooth, strong and bonding! Gonzales was extremely helpful and very patient dealing with my non-existing Spanish, or Galician for that matter. The bill came to €29.80 I had to go back the next evening and the next after that. Go there you must, for the unparalleled hospitality, fabulous view and the 5 star seafood
