Unlike the various cities in neighboring countries such as Chile and Uruguay, restaurants specializing in seafood are little known and rare in Buenos Aires. Whether by custom, culinary culture or gastronomic habit, the native palate focuses on meat dishes from farms and rural land, leaving aside the products of the Argentine Sea, perhaps because of the distance from the capital.
But currently, there are several options for specialized places in “be food” in the city, which are true options for quality and flavor. The discovery and tasting of these maritime delicacies is closely linked to certain qualities, such as freshness, preparation of the dish and presentation.
In this regard, the specialized gastronomic spaces are directed by master chefs of marine cuisine. Some of the main references have a clear heritage of Mediterranean cuisine, on the other hand, others develop a preparation with an Asian style or from the ocean coasts. Peaceful.
