Fantastic seafood in SanLucar. Ten stars from me. Brilliance.
I try not to gush about places. Especially when you're on a nice vacation and have a few drinks and everything suddenly feels so.... right. I honestly like to keep that sort of thing out of reviews. But this place....
It's a self-service bar with the freshest seafood you'll ever see. We were there at lunch and it was a madhouse. I actually suggest you go at lunch because, even though you'll have to stand in line for food, the show is almost better than the food.
You belly up to the counter and try to get your order heard over the din. The seven or eight guys behind the counter are an amazing sight as they fill orders. They're like floor brokers on the London Stock Exchange. Wait, that doesn't do them justice. They''re like sailors on a bombed and listing U-Boot trying to right the ship. Just an amazing sight.
The food was brilliant. Fresh prawns, sea snails, calimari salads, a lot of stuff that maybe only the locals could identify. Most everyone around us ordered a sort of prawn fritter. We got one too but Mrs. S stopped chomping when she noticed the tiny little eyes. Didn't stop me though.
Anyway..... if you're nearby I can't recommend this place more for a lunch stop,great food and people watching. Just fantastic. read more
