With the Mediterranean at its door, Marseille treats seafood plainly and well, from oysters and urchins to the day's whole fish. La Boite a Sardine on Boulevard de la Liberation pairs a fishmonger counter with a tiny dining room, and L'Ecaillerie on Rue d'Endoume specialises in shellfish platters. Pierrot Coquillages on Avenue du Prado carries the same raw-bar idea further south.
La Boite a Sardine in Marseille's 1er is half fishmonger, half restaurant, walls papered with sardine tins and the catch of the day plated to the order.
OrderThe anemone fritters and whatever red mullet comes off the morning landing.
TipOpen Tue-Sat lunch only, Thursday and Friday evenings; reservation strongly advised.
L'Ecaillerie in Marseille's 7e on Rue d'Endoume is Anthony Abelaud's seafood room, Cheickh Diouf in the kitchen with shellfish from Carry and Camargue plus.
