Galeres en plat

The mantis shrimp is a humble crustacean that is treated here for what it is: fish-market produce, with a short season and an intense flavour. For a month, the restaurants of Alcanar, l'Ametlla de Mar, l'Ampolla and la Ràpita put it at the heart of the menu, with rice dishes, sautés and tartares, and DO Terra Alta wines to go with them.

From 6 February to 8 March 2026
