Es Garbell’s Fried Sea Anemones, a salty bite in Sa Caleta

Some starters are pure seafaring identity. Es Garbell’s battered sea anemones, in Sa Caleta, belong to that kind of product-led cooking that needs little explanation: good raw material, clean frying and just the right saline touch to remind us where we come from.

Served in a generous portion over a base of fresh salad, with lemon and sauce on the side, the sea anemones arrive golden, crisp on the outside and soft within. Their flavour is intense, iodine-rich and deeply marine, with that distinctive texture that makes them one of the great small luxuries of coastal cuisine. This is a dish made for sharing, ideal to begin the meal and for those seeking authentic, direct flavours without unnecessary embellishment.

At Es Garbell, a family restaurant in Sa Caleta, this proposal fits naturally within a menu of Menorcan and Mediterranean cooking, rice dishes, fish and home-style preparations made with calm and warmth.
