For many people, summer means enjoying fresh fish with a sea view, and one restaurant in southern Tenerife is earning plenty of praise for delivering exactly that.
Restaurante Casa Tato, located on the beachfront at El Socorro in Güímar, has become a popular choice for both locals and visitors looking for freshly caught seafood in a relaxed coastal setting.
Recently featured by local food creators @guachinchesmodernos, the restaurant impressed with both its welcoming service and its emphasis on quality local produce.
Seafood starters worth trying
The visit began with a surprise from the kitchen: complimentary scallops (zamburiñas) served with a sweet sauce.
The pair also sampled an off-menu burgado salad, combining the locally prized sea snail with avocado and fresh tomato.
Another standout was the restaurant’s crispy moray eel chips, a creative dish served boneless with a crunchy texture.
“They’re like crisps… absolutely addictive,” the reviewers commented.
Fresh fish takes centre stage
For the main course, they chose fresh horse mackerel (jurel), ordering a half portion due to the generous size of the fish.
The verdict was simple:
“You can really tell it’s fresh fish.”
The reviewers praised both its flavour and quality, highlighting the restaurant’s commitment to serving fresh seafood sourced from local waters whenever possible.
