Marisquería Esthvan

Background
About Marisquería Esthvan
The Story
Marisquería Esthvan is a family-run seafood restaurant that has been serving Barcelona's Sant Andreu district for more than three decades. Co-owners Paco, in the kitchen, and Esther, in the dining room, built the place around fresh shellfish, whole fish and straightforward Galician preparations rather than culinary reinvention.
The Cuisine
The kitchen focuses on Galician-leaning seafood with some broader Mediterranean touches. Menu regulars include oysters, clams and spider crab from the shellfish counter, grilled Andalusian squid, hake fillet with sherry vinegar, and a suquet de rape with potatoes, squid and prawns. An entrecot a la gallega is one of the few non-seafood mainstays.
The Team
Paco runs the kitchen and Esther leads the front of house. The pair co-own the restaurant and have been at the stoves and tables since opening, which gives the service a warm, familiar feel noted in guest reviews.
