What to eat
The O Grove seafood festival 2019 has 28 culinary proposals, and all that is served comes from the O Grove fish market. You can taste octopus for only € 11.50, seafood rice at € 6 per unit or knives for only € 7.50. Other star products are: marine or natural clams, cockles, king crab, tiger mussels, steamed or vinaigrette, grilled scallops, oysters, barnacles, baked scallops, and grilled turbot.
Where to eat?
O Corgo square is covered by two large tents. You can get a table (if you are a large group we recommend that you try to go as soon as possible, because we can’t forget that it is one of the busiest Galician gastronomic parties), or have a walk between the different stalls through the arches of the fish market. The preparation of the dishes has no secrets. They cook in view of all those who pass.
Perhaps you prefer the tranquility of a table with service. The restaurants of O Grove are open almost entirely, and are part of the seafood festival as well. Book if you don’t want to run out of table!
