Our dish — the plate we'd order here firstPescadito frito
Pescadito, small fish floured and fried whole, eaten hot with your fingers. The first of the four tapas, and our first order.
La Plata
Catalan tapas · bodega · El Gòtic, Barcelona
Carrer de la Mercè 28, 08002 Barcelona
Pepito Marjanet and Quimeta Planas opened this Gòtic bar, and the family still serves four tapas and nothing else. Wine comes from the barrel in a porró, the spouted pitcher.
The proof, in the house's own words
Why the fried fish
Tradition
The same four tapas since the day it opened, practically unchanged.
“prácticamente las mismas desde que abrió en 1945”
