Grilled fish with clams and potatoes

From the Cantabrian Sea

Fish & seafood

The Cantabrian Sea gives us its very best, and at El Cotarón we celebrate it with a wide selection of fresh fish.

From wedge clams and queen scallops (zamburiñas) to exquisite turbot, flavourful monkfish (pixín) and traditional cod, our fish grills showcase the very best of Asturian cooking.

A tribute to the Asturian coast that you won’t want to miss.
