What to order
Madrid marisquería tradition
Inland Madrid built a serious shellfish culture — platters arrive from Galicia and the Mediterranean for long lunches and late dinners.
Gambas al ajillo
Sizzling garlic prawns — order where the bar is busy at lunch.
Lubina or dorada a la plancha
Whole grilled fish — simplest quality signal in Salamanca rooms.
Percebes (seasonal)
Galician goose barnacles when in season — premium splurge.
