The Best Seafood Near Modesto, by the Record
-
Rank 1. A Gabeira
Traditional Seafood
The restaurant takes its name from a small island visible from the shore, which tells you something about how long this family has been paying attention to the sea. A traditional seafood dining room in Ferrol with two elegant rooms, a terrace, and an open kitchen, it's been around forever, handed down through four generations. The cooking is rooted in Galician classics with the occasional creative twist from the chef.

Rank 2. Pedra Furada
Contemporary Seafood
A short walk from Playa del Orzán, this contemporary seafood spot in A Coruña takes its cues from the same kitchen philosophy as Morrofino de Vigo: shareable plates built around serious Galician seafood, handled with a light, modern touch. The menu is designed for the table to eat together, which either sounds very convivial or like a negotiation, depending on who you bring. Either way, the ocean is the whole point here.

Rank 3. Artabria
Seafood
A traditional Galician restaurant near Riazor beach, named for the Celtic tribe who once called this corner of the coast home, which sets a certain tone before you even sit down. The dining room is comfortable and unhurried, with a partial view into the kitchen, and regulars fill it reliably enough that a reservation is the sensible move. The à la carte leans into the region's seafood with conviction, lamprey appearing when the season allows.

Rank 4. Mar de Esteiro
Seafood
A renovated manor house, listed as a cultural monument, that now feeds Santiago pilgrims and locals in dining rooms carved from old bedrooms. This seafood restaurant sits a few kilometers outside the city, which hasn't slowed anyone down. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand. The kitchen leans on whatever the Atlantic is offering, with lobster rice drawing the most repeat visitors.
