A short drive from San Sebastian, in Getaria, this place is absolutely amazing. It’s easy, you order the kokotxas, which are some kind of fish offal, it’s hake “throat”, followed by a whole char-grilled turbot. This fish is the best I ever had. The difference of texture and taste between each part, with its salty and smoky bits, is just pure goodness. It feels like you’re eating roasted suckling pig, it’s the same balance between “fat” and crisp. And finish with the cheese ice-cream, a simple dessert but which might be the best I had in Spain. A good and cheap wine list on top of that makes it a must go if you’re ever in the region (the other one in town, Kaia-Kaipe is meant to be great as well, with an even better wine list).
