La Mar Salada · Restaurant · Barcelona
A Barceloneta seafood restaurant that buys at the nearby fish auction and cooks rice for the table.
La Mar Salada is a seafood restaurant on Passeig de Joan de Borbo in La Barceloneta. It has been part of the neighborhood since December 16, 1993, and since 2003 it has been run by Marta Cid, her husband Albert Enrich and chef Marc Singla.
There are three places to sit: a sheltered outdoor terrace that stays open all year, an air-conditioned dining room at street level, and an upper-floor room with a view of the promenade that holds the wine and can be rearranged for groups.
Albert Enrich buys at the fish auction, which the restaurant counts as 327 steps from its door, four afternoons a week, and the menu follows what he brings back. Rice is cooked for two or more: a paella with shrimp, Vilanova prawns and mussels, the Senorito rice with squid, auction fish and shrimp, rice with blue crab from the Ebro Delta and Vilanova cuttlefish, black rice with cuttlefish and roasted vegetables, and a vermicelli paella with Dublin Bay prawn and allioli. Other regulars are the Barceloneta bomba with botifarra del perol, the grilled octopus salad that the house counts among its classics, and a monkfish and squid suquet.
The kitchen is closed on Tuesdays and on Sunday evenings. On weekends and public holidays lunch runs in two sittings with tables kept for two hours.
Address: Passeig de Joan de Borbo 58-59, Barceloneta, 08003 Barcelona, Barcelona
