well good morning guys and windy Mar Del Plata we have made it to the
coastal city and of course today we're going to be having seafood because what
else would you have here exactly we're gonna be having seafood and we're
finally going to be checking out what the city is most famous for all of its
beaches so the plan is to eat a lot of seafood and then do a lot of walking
burn off all those calories on the beaches yes and we're going to a
particular restaurant that you guys recommended in the comment section on
YouTube it's called Espigón de Pescadores and it's out on a pier out on
the water so yes it is almost noon we're feeling hungry let's go eat seafood and
then reached on it
guys I have to say it is freezing when you're walking around in the city
because like the streets turn into wind tunnels but now that we're on the beach
standing on the sand the heat is like reflecting upwards I'm not freezing
anymore my feet are warm now I understand why people are actually
swimming I couldn't understand it from a distance oh yeah it's not so bad Sam a
question for you if you were wearing your swimming trunks would you actually
go in the water with this away and underneath I think I would it's starting
to warm up a bit and the winds died down slightly
so far I'm only seeing kids in the water a few brave children so something that I
find really interesting about the beach here is that a lot of families have come
with their little tents to shield themselves from the wind so that they
can still enjoy the beach on a windy day and this reminds me a lot of the beaches
in northern Germany we spent some time there one summer and it was really cold
really windy but they also had these like I think they're called like
standoff kind of like these little baskets or little tents where you can
shield yourself from the wind and still enjoy a sunny day at the beach even if
the winds blowing like crazy like here and there you have it that's the
restaurant we're planning to eat out today out on the water
it's time for the bread and we have this rule that we should try not to eat too
much bread before the main' arrives because when we just can't handle it all
yeah the bread is so delicious fresh it comes with butter haven't you yes
anchovies or sardines no those are anchovies salted anchovies nearly lost
the butter there same to guys don't worry
I saved it some fatah but we always stuff up in the butter and then on top
of that we're gonna grab one of these little guys just one just one I feel
like we're starting off this seafood meal right starting off the seafood meal
with seafood fish
wine selection has been made wine selection has been made we decided to go
with Norton 1895 classic oh this is a pretty common table wine that you'll
find in a lot of Argentine restaurants had it a couple times before I like it
it's also tends to be one of the cheaper wines - and we got half a liter yeah we
got some sightseeing to do yeah otherwise we're gonna end up napping
after work we did a whole bottle we going backwards yesterday yeah we have
too much more into the yeah it's a nice wine it's it's very drinkable I mean
it's obviously not like a high-end wine but it's a nice table wine like to me
you're not gonna be too disappointed if you try this one our fried fish on tree
has arrived fried seafood entree this isn't just fish and you know what they
told me the names for all these things but to me it sounded like Italian if
they're not Spanish words I recognize this I think it's something like corn a
little which is a small theory this one I think she said calamari day which is a
baby calamari yeah and then we have the actual calamari and all it looks so
wonderful we've squeezed lemon juice over top you have a bit of salt you want
to make it saltier this little guy had an all peeling off
that is nice is it I don't think I've ever put a whole fish in my mouth before
oh I have you can eat right through the bone no problem it has a nice flavor
well yeah with those little fish you could they're mint they're meant for
like one bite yours yeah he's nice it reminded me a bit of
anchovies but less salty calamari so nice with lemon juice fresh out of the
fryer I'm just trying to think back to the last time we were enjoying like
really good seafood on the regular I feel like it was back in Croatia
yeah travel there that's what it was last year it's yeah it's been over a
time flies guys has actually been over a year since we were there guys well they
were eating it yeah I even remember trying something like this in Croatia at
a seafood restaurants back there they were like stuffed right now just having
fried baby calamari we tried everything though I've tried
all right so good so good huh all right time for me to try the mixed
fried frost gets over here this was Sam's selection yeah we were trying to
decide on an appetizer and - sounded really good to be trying trying this I'm
having a double fish oh yeah crispy on the outside salty what do I
know to be honest Somu I look so good look at this guy's a giant piece I think
they said that one's called the condom anything or something like it's still
juicy I really like the batter as well is
greasy but in a good way mm-hmm I love this kind of food like
whenever I went to headline of Canada doesn't specialize in and this kind of
like deep fried seafood so it's a very familiar taste I remember from my
childhood telecom oh it's just the appetizer like we still have a whole
sequence Arabic we actually on the barbecue the grill is yet to compensate
gracias
the seafood areeda will make you drool we need to give you service it is
humongous there's a lot of shellfish in here I'm
just like what a wonderful presentation I don't even know what to say Abel so
first of all we have a bed of golden yellow potatoes they've been sliced and
fried very nice we have oysters yeah we have scallops we have shrimp the bees
down there we have clams we do we also have
calamari hiding there in the bottom yeah prawns me and I have red peppers
some squid chunks of fish wow this is like an assortment of everything you
could possibly imagine look at this chunk of fish is a gift that keeps on
giving yeah this is more goodness buried on top
of goodness anyways thing is there's lots to keep us busy over here we go ooh
that came in right off very easy I'm gonna peel this off because I'm a picky
eater guys I take off besides check that out you know they
brought us cherlene which is a must when you're
having an Argentine barbecue and they also said we have a nahi sauce that
isn't spicy and of course lemons I think for this one I'm going to go with a
lemon just squeeze it on the gallop beautiful scallops
wonderful so tender so fresh just how it should be beautiful presentation
with the shell just about yeah that's beautiful
let's see what else I see fish Oh
again I'm perfectly content with a bit of lemon juice though maybe since we are
in Argentina to mature a little bit of chewy might be an order why not very
nice good I think this may be my first time in my life having a seafood Farina
this is the first being documented for you - what is this in Argentina well
some roasted red peppers so much going on here our daily vegetable intake yes
got some of these clams
fresh off the drum that's very tasty though Vince it's all very fresh I mean
we're right on the water so of course they have access to wonderful seafood
honestly so far I've been really impressed I probably should I got white
wine but you know what we like I read probably but we're in Argentina we drink
read let's see something I haven't tried yet look for new things
let's write this massive oyster especially oh my gosh that's so good
normally I don't love boys tears but the way it's been cooked it's almost like it
has a pudding texture created too creamy you better try it the first time I tried
them it was raw yeah I'd uh this out of bar in a glass do you remember that I
think it's like a gin bar or something and we had booze there way back one huh
yeah well maybe like a year and a half ago and one of these little orderly
called langoustines shrimp yep same string prawns giant prawns I
feel like those are just asking have some time on camera everyone's head
off that's the way to go anything but rapper but enough to try some here I was
like next-level tender and buttery if you're like come to mar del plata in
your life so I try to seafood should I not absolutely gonna have it it's so
delicious I think for people that don't even normally like see if you get just
so much it's worth giving a shot shot tasty here
another thing to mention this restaurant has easy as possible unknown yeah it's a
bit more typical really well guys it is time for price point let me just say
that was a wonderful barbecue first-ever for me it was
delicious we had some food leftover we list we couldn't no room for dessert
either Oh No No we've learned to say no to dessert
when we can't do it otherwise it's just a coma situation all off Geneva's but
let's talk about the price the total was thirteen hundred and ninety pesos which
came to 36 US dollars which I thought was really good yeah for seafood and why
master source came with like all the all the bread soda water red wine really
nice appetizer yeah really good mean our main hot potatoes it had some roasted
peppers so it was a lot of it was good highly recommend the police not only pay
the food but for the views the ambiance just being able to look out at the beat
it's incredible must be quite spectacular at night it's a
one-of-a-kind location or restaurant on the pier yeah over my shoulder I'm not
stretchy cheese yeah you can see it to the left you know it kind of reminds me
of that restaurant in Lima that we've been to
few time that Wilson LT got also set out on a pier on the water you can watch the
surfers yeah same deal here basically and yeah it was a lot of fun we really
well now we're gonna hit the beach we're gonna walk obviously we're not dressed
to go swimming I'm not sure I'd want to strip down anyway in this wind
oh my gosh I'm hot in a t-shirt insurance I don't know how you can y'all
bundled up you're ridiculous
so I just found the statue of the sea lion and posed the next to it feeling
pretty proud because my dad lived in the city for a few years as a kid and he
told me they used to take photos next to that sea lion so I was like okay need to
track it down get a photo of the next generation standing there and we found
it
well guys and that is our outing for the day there's a lot of cool stuff
happening along the boardwalk lots of different musical performances people
hanging out three performers you can come here any time of day and they'll be
