Canet de Mar’s culinary offerings are a delightful reflection of Catalonia’s rich gastronomic heritage. The town is known for its seafood dishes, thanks to its coastal location. Fresh fish, prawns, and squid are often featured in local recipes, along with other Mediterranean ingredients like olive oil, tomatoes, and garlic. Paella, a traditional Spanish dish, is often prepared with a regional twist, incorporating local seafood and saffron.
Another local favorite is suquet de peix, a Catalan fish stew that blends various types of fish with a savory broth made from garlic, tomatoes, and almonds. For dessert, crema catalana, a local version of crème brûlée, is a popular choice.
Visitors can enjoy these delicious dishes at various restaurants and taverns scattered throughout the town, many of which offer stunning views of the sea. In addition, the town’s markets provide an excellent opportunity to sample fresh, local produce, cheeses, and wines.
