Background
About Fishology
The Story
Fishology is the project of an Italian couple, chef Riccardo Radice and maitre Giulia Gabriele, who both trained at Disfrutar before opening their own restaurant in Barcelona. The name signals the kitchen's identity: a scientific study of fish, with the Danish symbol 'O' representing zero (waste) and 'Logy' referencing a field of study. The kitchen applies ancestral preservation techniques, salting, maturing, smoking, curing, pickling, to create what they call 'charcuterie of the sea.' Every part of the fish is used in a nose-to-tail approach, and the restaurant holds a Slow Food designation alongside its Michelin star.
The Cuisine
The kitchen is built entirely around seafood, expressed through two tasting menus named after ocean depths. Menu Benthos (€115, 8 courses) explores the sunlit zone down to 200 metres, an introduction to the restaurant's philosophy through its most iconic dishes. Menu Abyssal (€140, 10 courses) dives deeper with seasonal products, offal preparations, and more adventurous techniques. Both menus showcase the restaurant's signature approach: ancestral techniques reimagined with contemporary precision. rates the food at 8.8/10, the highest category score, and calls Fishology a hidden gem. Wine pairings feature biodynamic wines, sake, and house-made vermouth.
The Team
Riccardo Radice leads the kitchen. Born near Milan, he built his career across Prague, Amsterdam, and Bilbao before working at several Michelin-starred restaurants in Barcelona including Disfrutar (then 2 stars), Angle (2 stars), Spectrum (2 stars), and Nerua (1 star, Bilbao). Giulia Gabriele, born in northern Italy, manages the front of house. She brings hospitality experience from Berlin, work with Moreno Cedroni (2 stars, Ancona), and Disfrutar, plus wine and sake qualifications. She curates the wine list and makes the house vermouth. rates the service at 6.5/10 and decor at 5.8/10, reflecting a compact, no-frills space where the focus is firmly on the plate.
