The day's catch arrives on heaps of bar ice before you've even sat down, which tells you everything about where this marisqueria's priorities lie. Just off Plaça d'Espanya, El Camarote de Tomás is a traditional Catalan seafood restaurant, intimate and unfussy, where wild-caught fish comes roasted whole and the esqueixada de bacallà alone is reason enough to show up. An old-school institution with no apparent interest in modernizing, and no reason to start.

Esqueixada de bacallà
“be sure to start with the superb and refreshing esqueixada de bacallà, a popular cold preparation of salt cod bathed in olive oil, tomato, and olives that is near and dear to the hearts of many Catalan people.”

Grilled giant prawns
“Expect wild-caught fish roasted whole, grilled giant prawns, impossibly tender sauteed baby squid, clams, scallops, and plump sea urchin roe scooped from the shell and laid across a butter-smeared cracker with a dash of lemon on top.”
