Chichilo
A long-established seafood restaurant in the harbor commercial center, known for fried squid rings and seafood casseroles with generous portions and strong crowds.
It began as a fresh-fish stall run by fisherman Chichilo, who arrived in Argentina in 1947. It later built its own fleet. Today it has two adjacent outlets in the harbor commercial center and more than seventy years of history. Signature dishes are fried squid rings (rabas) and seafood platters. Other dishes include seafood casserole, Spanish-style seafood rice, garlic shrimp, and tuna pie, all known for their big portions. In peak summer it often has long queues, so it is best to avoid mealtimes. About a 15-minute drive from the city center.
