Seafood restaurants in Barcelona: all 110 mapped

Where the concierge points people first

La Paradeta — The self-service model the city loves: point at raw fish and shellfish on ice, pay by weight, and it comes out griddled or fried when your number is called. Several branches in the directory, including Sants and Meridiana; expect a queue at the door. (41.4044, 2.1735)
Tunateca Balfego Espai Gastronomic — Run by Balfegó, the bluefin tuna company from L'Ametlla de Mar down the Catalan coast. Worth it if you want to see how many different cuts one fish gives, from lean loin to belly. (41.3940, 2.1502)
Lluritu — A small, loud bar where the shellfish goes straight onto the plancha with salt and oil and nothing else. Two rows in the directory; better for a round of plates at the counter than a long lunch. (41.4068, 2.1596)
Carballeira Restaurant — A Galician house near the port, which matters in Barcelona: many of the city's best marisquerías are Galician-run, and they are where to go for boiled shellfish, pulpo and Albariño rather than paella. (41.3814, 2.1831)
Cal Pinxo - Palau de Mar — On the harbor side of the old port warehouse, for arròs negre and fideuà with the masts in view. A sit-down, bring-the-grandparents kind of lunch. (41.3804, 2.1855)

S/M on the menu means ask the price per kilo first

On Catalan seafood menus, the letters S/M (según mercado, or segons mercat) next to lobster, espardenyes, red prawns or whole fish mean the price depends on the day and is charged by weight. Ask the price per kilo and roughly what your piece weighs before it goes in the pan, and nobody will think it rude. Rice dishes are a lunch thing here: locals eat arròs and paella at midday, and a place pushing paella at ten at night is usually cooking for visitors.
