They say that in Spain we’ve even come to “accept octopus as a pet.” And while the expression is meant humorously, at Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller we’re certain of one thing: octopus, lobster, or Sóller’s red prawns truly belong on the table—fresh and prepared with all the care of the Mediterranean.
Seafood is one of Port de Sóller’s greatest treasures, and in our restaurant we treat it as it deserves: respecting its freshness, enhancing its flavor, and bringing every guest the very essence of the bay. Every day, local fishermen deliver cuttlefish, sipió, rock octopus, lobsters, or scarlet prawns that take center stage on our menu.
Properties that Nourish and Delight
Beyond their flavor, seafood provides essential nutrients. Sóller’s red prawn stands out for its high-quality protein and low fat content. Rock octopus, rich in iron and vitamin B12, is a true ally for vitality. Lobster and scarlet prawns, with their unmistakable taste, also provide minerals like zinc and selenium, which help strengthen the immune system.
Textures and Flavors of the Mediterranean
Each species brings its own personality. Cuttlefish and sipió are tender yet firm, ideal for stews and rice dishes. Octopus, when perfectly cooked, surprises with its smoothness. Lobster, with its delicate flesh, is synonymous with celebration, while scarlet prawns conquer with their intense marine flavor.
Recipes that Speak of the Sea
At Ses Oliveres, we like the product itself to shine. Sóller’s red prawn is served fried with lemon to highlight its natural freshness. Cuttlefish and sipió enrich paellas and fideuàs with their unmistakable sea flavor. Rock octopus reaches another dimension in our surf and turf dish, while lobster turns any soupy rice into an unforgettable feast.
Because at Ses Oliveres, there’s no need to “accept octopus as a pet”—it’s enough to accept fresh seafood as an essential part of a true Mediterranean experience by the sea.
