Marisquería El Yerno is one of Málaga’s standout destinations for fresh seafood, located right in the heart of the vibrant Atarazanas Market. Surrounded by the energy of one of the city’s most iconic food markets, this much-loved seafood bar offers an authentic taste of the Mediterranean, where the freshest catches of the day are transformed into simple, flavour-packed dishes that celebrate the region’s fishing heritage.

Led by Paco Murillo, the kitchen focuses on top-quality seafood sourced daily, ensuring every dish showcases freshness at its best. The menu features local favourites such as crispy fried anchovies, grilled prawns, boiled squid, and a rotating selection of daily specials based on what arrives fresh from the market. Each plate is prepared with traditional techniques that let the natural flavours of the seafood shine through.

A particular highlight is the restaurant’s award-winning fried anchovies, recognised as the Best Fried Anchovies at the 2025 Málaga Fried Food Competition. Light, crisp, and perfectly cooked, they have become one of the most sought-after dishes in the market and a must-try for visitors looking to experience one of Málaga’s most iconic seafood specialities.

To complement the food, guests can enjoy a carefully selected range of Málaga wines and fortified wines, enhancing the flavours of the seafood while adding to the authentic local experience. With limited seating and a lively market atmosphere, Marisquería El Yerno captures the spirit of traditional seafood dining in Málaga—fresh, fast, and full of flavour. No booking needed, just arrive early and enjoy.
