Whole Octopus a la plancha for less than 7 euros!!!!! Can~a of beer for 1 euro!!!!!! Fried boquerones....fresh sweet mussels 5 euros....these are plates...I can't describe and express my infatuation w this place. It gets busy at lunch so make reservations in person! Hang at the beach and come back for lunch. Jureles (fried fish larger than sardines) soooo good. Eat 'em head to tail! I come here for lunch and dinner because I'm obsessed. Their fishermen are legit! This is a beach spot, nothing fancy. Super casual. Worth the trip. I think I visit rincon de la Victoria for this spot and the beach...oh and the stars....and the random farmer riding a donkey selling fresh figs for 3euros a kilo....but that.s another story.....

If you'd like the review in Spanish, please let me know…read more Malaga has great seafood, though this place may be the best. The material is the best we've come across, and that's because the owner is a former boat captain with umpteen years of experience on the sea. He knows where his seafood is coming from, what the quality is, and he only has the best which means no frozen boxes from far away which sadly makes up much of the product on the coast. What's more, he's a student of the sea, literally, and is working to fish in a sustainable way. This is how an operation should run and the end result is delicious. The location is spacious and light, right on the port, floor to ceiling windows and a small changing menu (necessary for the changes in ingredients available). 5 stars, absolutely worth the trip, from Malaga, from wherever. Go here, ask what is good, then sit back and enjoy. Bravo

It's all standing space and the guy at the counter won't pay any attention to you unless you shout "perdon" and have your order ready. the seafood was so fresh. in the case of the gooseneck clams, they tasted a little too fresh and from the ocean (if u know what i mean). the grilled razor clams and grilled padron peppers were phenomenal. the bread and herb aoli was a surprising smash hit, only 1€ and a meal in and of itself. the paella was delicious as well, replete with a variety of different seafoods (including the plumpest of mussels) but it was too salty to enjoy without a beer and ranks second in terms of seafood flavor to the paella from bar santa cruz in se. i did avail myself with glee to the large juicy slice of lemon that came with every plate though.

This was our last stop to visit on our list today. Many bars and restaurants. Fresh produce, seafood, meats, etc. Ambiance - Decent size market. And plenty of surrounding businesses. A nice architecture. It would have been nice if I had more time to visit, too jam-packed of a day. Well half a day, but you know that because you are following. Several entrances. Open 6 days a week from 8am to 2pm or 3pm or when they sell out. Closed Sundays. The fish market is also closed on Mondays. Service - Good, busy. Both locals and tourists here. Price - Competitive market, so very reasonably priced, especially for the quality of foods. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since the 14th century. 1870 when made into a market. 1979 - Refurbished.

No Paella here. La Escollera is strictly seafood from what I saw. Because of Escollera's popularity with tourists AND locals alike, it gets busy so have a few things in mind: (1) give your name+last name to the host inside (2) if you can grab a high-top outside, go for it and get a Starter bite while you wait, (3) someone will yell out your last name, then (4) you're in. Attention from all the servers is definitely here and each offered individual tid-bit on what we ordered. Dozen oysters (or "12 pieces") were meaty and juicy with the right amount of oyster liquor. What's more, I know the oysters hubs and I have been getting on the East Coast in the States are good- but these here in Spain's Southern Coast are mind-blowing. Horseradish and mignonette? They're obsolete in these parts. You will get Tabasco as an alternate (for hubs) and some individually-packaged red wine. It did just fine. Prawns were good but the Sardines were excellent with a slightly crunchy-garlicky exterior. The oysters took it a bit over from what we've experienced during our stay. But come to think of it, comparing the quality and straight-from-the-sea catch to the East Coast, they were worth the €54. Skip the juicy-flavored sangria and go for a red or white instead. In essence, it's all about the seafood here.
