When most people think of Argentinian cuisine, they think of steak. However, just because steak is the most prominent Argentine entree does not mean that there is not an abundance of tasty options out there. If you are in the mood for seafood, Argentinian restaurants such as Puerto La Boca in San Diego offer several different savory seafood options. Below are a few of the most popular savory seafood options available at Puerto La Boca, an authentic Argentinian restaurant located in Little Italy.

Salmon

Salmon is a very unique type of fish, offering a much more substantial eating experience. Salmon is best cooked with garlic and various herbs, which makes it a perfect choice for an Argentinian dinner. At Puerto La Boca we offer the delicious Salmon con Camarones al la Provenzal, which is a buttery and inspired dish that is a local favorite. Salmon and shrimps are sautéed in olive oil, parsley, garlic, parsley, white wine, and butter, creating a moist and flavorful combination. 

Shrimp

Shrimp is a true treat, bringing a scrupulous texture and an intriguing flavor profile that brings a little something extra to any dish it is added to. Shrimp is incredibly versatile, at home with other seafood or mixed with some meat for a little surf and turf. At Puerto La Boca, one of our signature dishes is the Camarones “La Boca”, a decadent delight. The shrimps are stuffed with red bell peppers and cheese, and then they are wrapped in bacon, creating a perfect mesh of vastly different flavors.

Calamari

Calamari is one of the best appetizers you can order, regardless of the restaurant. Calamari features deep-fried squid, usually served with an assortment of sauces and flavors. Calamari is the perfect dish to share, allowing everyone to get a taste.

Octopus

The texture of a tender and perfectly prepared octopus is something to behold. Octopus is a perennially underrated savory seafood, so get a little adventurous and try some the next time you are at Puerto La Boca! Our Pulpo “La Ribera” features marinated octopus delicately tossed with olive oil, garlic, parsley, potatoes, and paprika. This is a perfect dish to pair with a soup or salad, some bread and chimichurri, and a nice glass of wine. 

Mahi-Mahi

Mahi-Mahi is the fish so nice they named it twice! While this once fresh joke has grown stale from overuse, that does not make the sentiment any less true. Mahi-Mahi is a light and flaky fish that can be enjoyed in a variety of different marinades and sauces. At Puerto La Boca, we offer the Mahi-Mahi con Salsa de Mango. This dish allows you to enjoy a fresh Mahi-Mahi perfectly flavored with a fruity mango sauce. The mix of the savory fish with the sweet mango sauce creates the perfect contrast that makes this dish stand out from the pack.
