This is virrey, or palometa rosa, a red fish distinguishable by its very large eye. It has other names, too. My partner, who used to avoid fish, developed a love for this last year, so it was not surprising that he ordered it last night at ASADOR D'BERTO.

I also repeated my dish from last year: Fried bogavante, a type of lobster. Very good but the meat was not as tender as I might have liked. A LOT of food--I left about half on the plate.

Galician potato chips, fried in olive oil, are famous throughout Spain, and on my trips home, I often see travelers toting the large round metal tins filled with them on the plane. Much better than the usual ones we have in the US, these are also less salty. Look at then prices in NYC and you can see why people bring these home with them: https://despanabrandfoods.com/collections/bonilla-a-la-vista?srsltid=AfmBOoq3fTYa-17KCxdDSXo5LJ9O9av12BdEAB4aBQZ_u56MMoAqN2WE

ASADOR D'BERTO, in O"Grove, a workaday seaport town in Pontevedra province; this is reputed to be the finest restaurant in town, but there are few others recommended by Repsol and Michelin

Berberechos, cockles, with a mildly garlicky sauce. I forgot to snap a photo of the leek with "calabaicin" sauce, but it was very nice. Look at the color of that water in the background. People were dining here in shorts, t-shirts, and flip flops...

The shellfish gatherers of the Ria de Arousa region are much lauded here, as this handsome sculpture attests. At the parking lot, we were approached by a few people selling boat trips on the Ria (inlet) with all-you-can-eat mussels. My partner does not eat anything "with black shells," but I have four more days to turn his opinion!!! A boat trip would be lovely!! It's in the high 80sF today, Tuesday....
