The truth is that in a greek restaurant you will find a very large letter of fish and shellfish. Fishing town par excellence both in Athens and in the Greek islands, seafood is a constant so I hope you like them or that you give yourself the opportunity to try them. The Greeks cook them wonderfully and in general they tend to be very fresh. Just walk a bit through the port of Athens or any island to see the fishermen in action with the riot of the day.
That is why the quantity and variety of dishes with seafood it is numerous. But, here are a few chosen ones:
- astako: Mediterranean-style lobster without claws
- marides: it is a small deep-sea fish that is eaten whole, with the head and everything.
- soupia: it is a fish that is served grilled or with a red wine sauce
- octopodi: filet mignon style octopus that can be served grilled or boiled.
- kalamarikia: squid that are fried in small pieces and sprinkled with lemon.
- sardeles: they can be fresh or canned. Es Lesbos are fished in the morning and served at night
- psarosoupa: fish soup with lemon, potatoes and egg
