in o’grove, spain (july’24)

ending my europe trip with a small detour to o’grove for the famous d’berto for some seafood from the galician shore.

we began with their complementary seafood empanada and a galician veg & choirzo soup which was quite nice, before trying the seafood offerings today. we had some side by sides of different species of clams, big vs small which was quite interesting. favourite here were hands down their razor clams, the more plump ‘longueiron’ over the classic ‘navajas.’ the shellfish in this side of spain is noticeably different in a good way, there is a good balance of fresh and salt water composition here making it the perfect for shellfish. the raw clams were also very nice, we also got one cooked in oil and one in marinera which was like apple sauce. also tried their spider crab which was okay, a bit too salty for my preference as they salt bake it so along with the existing natural sea water flavour. ended with their famed lobster, half fried and half grilled. i prefer the fried one with some of the flesh still half raw, so the umami of the lobster was more apparent. ended with a cheesecake and galician crepe - filloa.

nice to tick this place off my list, some seafood items weren’t available on the day of our visit but still pretty happy we got to sample a fair amount of signatures and a taste of galician seafood. good shellfish and cooking but seasoning is a little salty to my taste and is located way too far from everywhere else and wasn’t mind-blown enough to trek here more than once.
