Spain\u2019s \u201cNorthern Pearl\u201d hasn\u2019t forgotten about its fishing-port origins, and neither have our taste buds!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cold Cantabrian Sea doesn\u2019t just wash the shores of Playa de la Concha\u2014it also provides the best seafood for the restaurants in San Sebastian. Trust us for a finger-licking experience and get ready for an unforgettable \u201cport-to-table\u201d moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No need to break the bank; whether you start with the fishing port\u2019s humble original flavors or indulge at a top-ranked seafood restaurant, we’ve got you covered. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Where<\/figure>\n\n\n

1. Mariscos El Puerto: For Take-Away Steamed Seafood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mariscos El Puerto<\/a>\u2019s name gives it away immediately: \u201cseafood + the port.\u201d This classic cocedero<\/em> (literally, \u201cboiler place\u201d) cooks all sorts of fresh seafood daily. Want a true local taste? Grab one of their takeaway shrimp or sea-snail paper cones and walk alongside the colorful fishermen\u2019s houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing gets more authentic than handpicking the best ready-to-eat crabs, lobsters or clams, and having the portions measured with a scallop shell by the owner behind the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Bar Ganbara: For the Best Txangurro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spider crab has always been a staple ingredient of San Sebastian cuisine, but it became an overwhelming success after Queen Maria Cristina got a little picky and decided she wanted to use cutlery to savor it rather than eating it the traditional way by hand. That’s how they came up with the genius idea of serving it by stuffing the crab\u2019s head, and it has been like that for 100 years! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t let you leave without trying the one at Bar Ganbara<\/a>; their txangurro<\/em> is Chef Juan Mari Arzak\u2019s favorite in town and it\u2019s one of the many unmissable pintxos<\/a> in San Sebastian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Gure Txoko: For Oysters and Soft Shell Crab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re aware that it might not look like a place where you would expect to find seafood, but do yourself a favor and RUN to Gure Txoko<\/a> for the best oysters in town, period. Eduardo personally knows a great oyster provider and he takes pride in only choosing the best ones for his customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bar is well-known in Gros for its quirky version of SpongeBob\u2019s crab burger, a surprising bao bread burger combined with a soft shell crab. It is also very popular for its warm treatment, so expect a crowd during peak hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Casa Urola: For Scallops in Ajoblanco<\/em> Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Casa Urola<\/a> is San Sebastian\u2019s seafood HQ, and its specialty is anything and everything grilled with charcoal. Choose your vibe: an elegant bar or a formal dining room area upstairs (in case you wish to have a rest from all the pintxo-eating-while-standing-up experience).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their 2019 award-winning scallops with white garlic, nuts, and fried seaweed is a must, especially when paired with a local txakoli<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Abakando: For a Seafood Tasting Menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get off the beaten path at Abakando<\/a> in the Antiguo neighborhood. Their seafood tasting menu is worth every penny and dessert and tax are included! Indulge in the seafood and fish from their own nurse-pond in a casual atmosphere surrounded by colorful artsy walls of glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abakando is off the tourist trail, not usually busy and open all Mondays (the usual day off for restaurants in our city) to ensure a feast for the senses every day of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Galerna: For Fried Sea Nettles with Algae Mayonnaise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Galerna<\/a>\u2019s soul may have been born by the sea, but these young chefs\u2019 restaurant fame has spread like wildfire. Seating just 30 people, their kitchen delivers delicacies flowing from smoked to marinated, and brings back to life the underdogs of sea products, such as sea nettles and barnacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebeca and Jorge\u2019s love for small, independent wineries transfers to our menu experience. Keep an eye open for these two! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Narru: For Clams in Green Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you planning on popping the question or do you want to impress your date? Recently relocated Narru<\/a> is hands down the right choice for a high-end experience. This acclaimed restaurant has just reopened in front of the Buen Pastor Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll go back to basics with two classic Basque dishes: clams in green sauce and the renowned kokotxas<\/em>. Trust them with their wine selection to round out your heavenly experience. Can we get an amen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
