Seafood has always been central to how Barcelona eats, from Barceloneta's old quayside kitchens to newer rooms in the Eixample. Els Pescadors on Placa de Prim is a long-standing fish house away from the tourist core. The Fish and Chips Shop in the Eixample and El Nacional show the lighter and the grander ends of the city's seafood range.
