Seafood and fish are synonymous with the very mention of Malta. It is, after all, what you would expect to find on an island smack bang in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. You will not be disappointed. Despite a traditional preference for meats of all sorts, particularly rabbit, the Maltese have for long also been masters of the seafood side of their kitchen.
By way of example, they have for centuries been eating lampuki, a seasonal fish that only now is being appreciated by new generations of fish-eaters in other parts of the world, with the Maltese specialising not only in its cooking and presentation but also in its netting thanks to crafty, traditional methods passed on a father-to-son basis.
Fresh seafood of all sorts is always available at Maltese restaurants, particularly those privileged with special day-to-day arrangements with local fishermen. You simply cannot go wrong. From traditional, fresh fish and fish-farmed species to mollusks and crustaceans, the choice at the best Maltese restaurants is incredibly tempting, to say the least.
For the uninitiated, there is always someone from the restaurant who will be only too happy to explain the intricacies of what to order, how to eat it and how to appreciate it fully. For many, seafood is an acquired taste that they will joyfully discover having come to the right place.
