The one to order off the fire

The grilled whole fish of the day, the clay-oven empanadas, and a cut off the parrilla

Where to sit: No booking in high summer means a long wait; go for a late lunch and sit on the deck facing the water.

What it burns: Wood-fired parrilla and a clay oven on the beach

A beach shack on the Atlantic that became one of Latin America's 50 Best, cooking the day's catch over wood while the sun goes down.

Whole grilled fish with garlic and chili oil (a la bilbaína)

Whole grilled fish with garlic and chili oil (a la bilbaína)

45 min, 30 min hands-on · 2 to 3 people. The Getaria turbot, at home: a whole fish grilled on the bone stays juicy, and the sizzling garlic, chili and vinegar oil poured over at the end is the Basque finish. Turbot, branzino, sea bream or snapper all work; a fish basket makes turning easy.
