September arrives as the perfect month to rediscover the taste of the sea in Palma. The golden light makes the afternoons linger, the port regains its calm, and the fish enters its most splendid season. At Ca n’Eduardo, located opposite the Lonja (the fresh fish market), we carefully select fresh Mediterranean catches with the utmost care and a focus on local sourcing. Here’s a look at the seasonal fish currently on our menu and how to best enjoy them at our seafront restaurant.
Why is September the ideal month for fish?
- Fewer tourists allow us to focus entirely on top-quality produce.
- Species like sea bass, hake, megrim, horse mackerel, and red mullet are at their very best.
- Buying directly from the Lonja guarantees freshness, pure flavour, and a true “dock-to-dish” experience.
5 standout fish on our Menu
- Sea Bass: At Ca n’Eduardo, you can enjoy it in a red curry sauce or as the timeless classic, salt-baked sea bass.
- Hake: A thick steak in salsa verde (green sauce) or the neck grilled “a la espalda” style (butterflied), offering a firm texture and a balanced flavour.
- Megrim: The irresistible fried megrim with onion, or simply grilled with vegetables for a light yet flavourful option.
- Turbot: Served on a crème fraîche risotto for a beautiful fusion of flavours.
- Red Pagrus (Sea Bream): Pan-fried with garlic and paprika, delivering a uniquely intense taste.
Our philosophy: respect for the product
We take advantage of our proximity to the Lonja to always choose the best fish of the season, which we then cook in a way that respects its natural essence. The secret lies in care and patience, cooking over a low heat to create traditional dishes like bullit de peix (a traditional fish stew) or arroz a banda (rice cooked in fish broth), resulting in an elixir for the palate.
Furthermore, our menu has options for everyone: for the more adventurous, for those who seek timeless classic flavours, and for the indecisive. We offer grilled platters, creamy rice dishes, baked fish, pan-fried specialities, and grilled options.
What to choose based on your plans at Ca n’Eduardo
If you’re looking for a light lunch while relaxing on our terrace, the sea bass fillet or the grilled megrim are always a winning choice, especially when paired with a chilled Albariño wine.
But If you love to share, then the mixed grilled seafood platter with lobster or a bullit de peix with arroz a banda is the perfect option.
And for a relaxed, flavour-packed dinner, the turbot with risotto or the hake neck grilled “a la espalda” is ideal for ending the day on a delicious note.
