Family-run seafood restaurant opposite the market, with its own tank: lobster rice, fried squid, seafood platters and fish by weight. Closed Tuesday; dinner Friday and Saturday.

Opposite San Vicente's covered market, on Calle del Mercado, the González-Fernández family has run Augusto, their seafood restaurant, for more than forty years, with a nautical-style dining room and a terrace. The Michelin Guide includes it in its selection and marks it as a place to go with the family.
The lobster rice they say they invented
The house says it pioneered lobster rice, and Michelin records it. Alongside it there are clam rice and black rice. Michelin adds two recommendations: the fried squid (rabas) to start and the cream millefeuille for dessert, from the pastry they make themselves.
Its own tank and everything by weight
The shellfish comes from their own tank, depending on the season, and fresh fish and shellfish are sold by weight, as in the town's seafaring houses. The seafood platter, designed for sharing, is the star dish. As the price depends on weight and on the market, ask before ordering a piece: the website does not publish prices and Michelin places it in its middle band, with two euro symbols.
