Nou Manolín
The fish tapas of Alicante are famous all over Spain—top Michelin-starred chefs often come to town on tapas-eating holidays. One of the places they come is Nou Manolín, where everyone from deckhands to stevedores to upscale tourists mingles at the bar, drinking the local wines and making a meal of little plates of batter-fried anchovies, garlicky grilled shrimp, sizzling casseroles of sausages—more than 40 choices in all. The elegant upstairs dining room emphasizes local fish and the beautiful vegetables of the Alicante coast. The tapa of fried eggplant with salmorejo is sublime. The menu features many rice dishes, but you can’t go wrong with whole sea bass (2.2 pounds/1 kg) baked in a salt crust for the table to share.
