Description:
El Pescador is a popular spot, packing in crowds with more than 30 kinds of fish served, all prominently displayed in a glass case. Many of them are unknown in North America, and some are found off the coast of Galicia. The management airfreights the fish in and prefers to serve them a la plancha (grilled). You might start off with spicy fish soup and accompany it with one of the many good wines from northeastern Spain. If you're not sure what to order, try one of the several varieties and sizes of shrimp. They go under the names langostinos, cigalas, santiaguinos, and carabineros. Many are expensive and priced by weight, so take care when you order.
