Seafood
Peñíscola offers a rich, gourmet variety of fresh, local products. Over the centuries, fishing has contributed to the town developing myriad flavours and rice dishes linked to seafood cuisine.
Monkfish All i Pebre, fish Suquet, seafood, murex shellfish (caragols punxents) with Peñíscola D.O., langoustines, shrimp or squilla are just a few examples of the richness of our cuisine.
Peñíscola is home to many eateries where you can savour the local dishes. There's nothing better than tasting the town's lovingly prepared dishes while seated in the old town or on the 5 kilometres of beach.
