The first branch of a self-service seafood chain that started in a Sants side street in 1994. At the iced counter by the door you pick prawns, razor clams, squid or mussels by weight, then ask for them grilled a la plancha or fried. Pay for food and drinks, sit down, and collect your tray when your number is called; there are no waiters. Expat residents say it's the first place local friends take them.
