Seafood is woven through San Sebastian's whole way of eating, from the fishing-port roots of the Old Town to the bars around the former market streets. In the Parte Vieja, La Mejillonera on Calle del Puerto built its name on plates of mussels and prawns, while nearby Bar Txepetxa on Pescaderia Kalea is the city's reference for anchovy in every dressing.

Bar Txepetxa on Pescaderia in San Sebastian sells the vinegar-cured anchovy pintxo from 3 euros, the seafood-counter budget order with a Txakoli for under 6.
