Fodor's Expert Review Tasca El Pescador
If you want Spanish-style seafood dishes, head to this restaurant, one of a dozen that surround the Plaza del Mercado. The chillo entero frito (fried whole red snapper) and camarones al ajillo (shrimp with garlic) are tasty, but the standout is the arroz con calamari: this dramatic, inky-black rice dish will elicit "oohs" and "aahs" from nearby diners when it arrives at your table. If you come in the evening, it might be cool enough to dine at one of the handful of tables on the square; if not, settle for one of the green polka-dot tables in the dining room.
