A restaurant on the coast of San Felipe, in Gran Canaria, has become famous for serving the largest fish platter in the Canary Islands, a feast to share.

In the north of Gran Canaria, specifically in the coastal enclave of San Felipe, municipality of Santa María de Guía, lies a restaurant renowned for its culinary generosity: Los Pescaditos. This establishment has established itself as a gastronomic landmark thanks to its specialty, a fish platter measuring one meter in length, perfect for group enjoyment.
The fame of this platter, described as "crazy" by tiktoker José León, stems not only from its size but also from the quality of the fresh fish it offers. The gastronomic experience is complemented by other dishes on the menu, such as Iberian black pudding croquettes, tender pork cheeks with potatoes, and a highly praised scalded gofio. The offering is rounded off with mojitos that evoke the Atlantic breeze.
With a rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars on Google, Los Pescaditos convinces not only with its cuisine but also with the friendly service from its staff, including the owner and his daughter, who are praised for their attentiveness. Regular customers highlight the food quality, sea views, and available parking.
Other recommended dishes include house prawns, 'mussels a la carmela', and perfectly cooked calamari. The restaurant, located at Calle San Felipe 25, is open from Wednesday to Sunday, providing an ideal spot to refuel after a day at the beach or hiking in the area, also known as a stop on the Camino Real de Gran Canaria.
