I wanted one thing on this fine day, grilled seafood. I did a little looking and found this very popular spot with a line so I queued up. It's set up kinda like a mini fish market, bowls of fresh caught seafood sitting on ice, you choose which ones you want, how much you want, and how you want it prepared. I did come here twice and both times I landed between €50 to 60€ so it's not cheap per se. I had their prawns, langoustine, scallop, and octopus all styled a la plancha with some salsa verde and olive oil drizzled over top. Everything was incredible. I genuinely have no nitpicks because there's nothing to nitpick. The seafood was fresh as can be, the garlicky salsa verde and lemon wedge made it nice and vibrant as well. The seafood was perfectly grilled. If I had to choose though the langoustine was my favorite. It's very delicate in texture and flavor with a nice bit of sweetness in the meat. Next time I'm in Barcelona I will go out of my way to stop here again.

This restaurant was literally right next to our stay in Barcelona--skipping it felt like a crime,…read moregiven the rave reviews. So, on a rainy afternoon, we gave it a shot. We arrived just after lunch opening and were the first customers. The guy at the counter was... efficient. He simply told us to pick what we wanted, tossed it in a bin, and that was that. No explanation of pricing or preparation methods. When we asked how they'd cook it, he casually offered "fried or grilled." Obviously, we chose grilled--why fry fresh seafood? We picked two giant prawns, two octopus tentacles, and two fish (since hubby can't have shellfish). He asked if we wanted salad or soup--reviews hyped the soup, so we went with that. Then he handed us a receipt, told us we were order #3, and sent us to the bar. At the bar, we ordered two sangrias and a water. The bartender asked if we wanted bread and sauce. Sure, why not? We assumed they were included. Surprise! The tiny baguettes cost €0.50 each, and the mystery "house sauce" (a questionable mix of thousand island and horseradish) was an extra €1. We only realized the charge when we saw the total: €73. Oh well, too late now. Then came the food pickup experience--chaotic, to say the least. The server practically barked at us to bring our receipt, aggressively crossed off items, and handed over soups and octopus, crammed onto a greasy tray. No effort at plating, just food haphazardly dumped onto plates. The second round--grilled fish and prawns--was more of the same. Now, the verdict: Soup (5/5) - Delicious and reasonably priced at €6. Would order again. Bread & Sauce (0/5) - Not free, not worth it. Hard pass. Octopus (€31.80 for two tentacles, 1/5) - Overpriced, greasy, and drowning in molten salt. Basically, eating a sodium bomb. Grilled Fish (€10.50 & €8.50, 3/5) - Decent, but unnecessarily oily. Grilled Prawns (€5.59, 0/5) - Mushy, not fresh, and borderline inedible. Final thoughts? Not worth it. With so many incredible food spots in Barcelona, why waste your meal quota here? If you want quality seafood, go to Cervecería Catalana--we spent €5 more, but a meal a thousand times better. Spend wisely and eat like a king.

The food is great and you can select your fish and prawns prior to purchase. Croquettes were great, scallops, lobsters, all fresh and good. After dinner or before walk on the beach. It's a good vibe.

Came here on a Sunday - fair warning: long lines especially for lunch. We came around 4pm and…read moredidn't have to wait too long and since we opted for the next available seating, we got to sit in the sun for 1.5 hours with no umbrella or shade. So bring your sunscreen. Service: kind of slow. But I get it-they're busy. What I don't get is all the trash on the floor. Clearly visible yet every staff member just walks by and doesn't pick up napkins that flew away, etc. Food: 1. Croquette tapas - crispy outside, the seafood filling inside was just alright 2. Patatas with garlic aioli - heaven!! 3. Calamari fried in batter - disappointed because the batter was SOGGY when it arrived to the table 4. Tallarinas - tasty but sandy when I got to the bottom of the plate Main dish: Arroz Marinero (18.95€/per person) WAY too expensive. Although it was good, it wasn't mind blowing and certainly not worth the price. Large selection of desserts

The name changed.. It's called Puertecillo Marisquerias. But I guess it's same place just…read moredifferent name.. It was long wait since you order the seafood and they cook them for you.. You get your orders as the food is done.. So I made about 4 trips to the window. First time coming to a restaurant where you pick your seafood and they cook them for you.. Over all the food was very fresh. Mussels are cooked with white wine, octopus steamed so i was told. Prawns and langoustine grilled I think. Over all food was pretty good. Price is pretty reasonable. I wouldn't say best seafood I've ever had but it was good and lots of food for price you pay.. Mussel were pretty good but not as good as ones I've had in Naples. You better know what you want.. They don't like you taking time and trying to decide what to get. I would come back here again.

We are so lucky to stumble upon La Paradeta, a precious seafood market two blocks from Sagrada…read moreFamilia. Varieties of seafood are ready to be cooked the way you wanted. Two of us picked 5 types of seafood, a salad and a fish soup. We tried the sangria as our drinks. Everything is beyond fantastic! We would highly recommend this seafood gem to all our friends. Here are a few tips for the first timers: 1) The workers at the order area don't understand English well. We pointed at the seafood for ordering. 2) Recommended to have the fish soup over mixed salad as an appetizer. The fish soup is made with lots of fish and ginger; and it carries so much flavor. 3) The mussels are a must-have and are so cheap (Under 10 Euros for huge portions). It's recommended to prepare in two ways: white wine and tomato sauce 4) The La Paradeta sauce (I e. A green basil sauce) goes very well with shrimps and razor clams. 5) The fried calamari was so delicious and perfectly paired with drizzles of lemon juice. Yet, it's so expensive (24 Euros for a very small portion). It doesn't feel as worth it as compared to something like lobsters (29 Euros/single lobster). 6) I noticed many people ordered a bottle of wine instead of Sangria. Will need to try next time!

The server/manager did not speak much English, but we were able to eventually figure out what I wanted to order. He was extremely patient and friendly. I ordered one of the seafood platters with shrimp, mussels, monkfish, and squid. The server remarked/pantomimed that they got their seafood fresh from the nearby ocean, and I don't doubt that. All the items tasted very fresh. Overall I was very happy with my meal and would recommend this place to anyone in the Premià de Mar area.

Our reserved table for 10 afforded us the ability to order many shared starters before our own entrees came. Favorite starters: *Galacian Octopus (Pulpo Gallego) was perfectly cooked tender, and came with a delicious sauce over sliced potatoes. A friend even ordered it as his entree! *Fried Calamari (Los Calamares) came in cut strips and we are them all. *Marine clams (Las Amejas) were fresh and bathed in a fantastic white wine and garlic. *Cuttlefish with Garlic (Sepia a la Plancha) was grilled whole and I could've eaten one by myself. My entree was Grilled Turbot (Rodaballo a la Plancha). The fish was so huge it was split into four entrees. It was the tastiest fish on my trip. It was perfectly grilled and moist. I had no problem with bones. Grilled Hake (Cogote de Merluza) and Sole were also delcious. For dessert don't pass up the creamy limoncello served in a frozen lemon! I forgot the names of the wines we had but we ran through 5 bottles of amazing Priorat. Since discovering Priorat wines in Sitges, I've been on a mission to find it in the US. It's pretty difficult! Service was spectacular and the wait staff were very personable, as if we were dining in a family's home. La Marinada is the top restaurant on my list when I return to Sitges!
