Poissonnerie Espadon feels part fish market, part Moroccan beach shack, with a menu that’s all about getting your seafood fix without the markup. You pick your fish—tilapia, sardines, sea bass, even shark—then choose how you want it: grilled, fried, or sautéed with garlic. Plates come stacked with rice and fries, and the portions land somewhere between generous and unapologetically heavy. There’s soup while you wait, regulars who swear by the garlic shrimp, and a fried calamari side that’s hard to skip. The sardines stuffed à la marocaine are a standout, and combo platters for two or four make it easy to go all in.
