Rankings
Best seafood
Nine marisquerías in Torre del Mar carry a public rating, with more than 17,000 reviews between them. One house alone accounts for over four thousand, which makes it one of the most reviewed businesses in the town of any kind.
The table is tight and the top is old
The first four are separated by just over a point of score, and they are long established houses rather than new openings. In a trade where reputation is built over decades, that is what the numbers are showing.
Seafood is priced by weight, and this catches visitors out
The menu gives a price per kilo for prawns, clams or whatever is fresh that day. You order a portion, it is weighed, and the bill reflects the weight. This is completely normal and completely legitimate, but if you do not ask what a portion will weigh, the total can be a surprise. Ask. Nobody minds.
What to order
What came off this coast: the boquerón victoriano, the local anchovy, and whatever the board says arrived today. For fish fried and wrapped in paper to take away, that is the freiduría, a different trade with its own ranking.
