We had lunch at Elkano yesterday. It’s in the nearby town of Getaria, which was an expensive cab ride from San Sebastian (~€40). It’s a pretty drive though. The food was great — fish were fresh and perfectly grilled. Our turbot was massive (probably should’ve asked for a smaller one) and very fat.

Also, I learned that turbots are the fattest in April and May. And in August they are the least fatty. (At least turbots fished around here)

There’s a turbot on the grill. The gelatinous bits around the fin were nommy. It made me a little sad to see the tables around us leaving the fins and only eating the flesh.

And our starter, hake kokotxas three ways. From left to right, fried, grilled and with green sauce.
