Look to Spain? (Or was that Norway?)
To me THE best seafood meal ever was at restarant KAIA in Getaria, midway between San Sebastian and BIO on the northern coast of Spain. Wild turbot straight from the ocean, onto the outdoor grill in the street outside, condiments consisting of olive oil, lemon and coarse sea salt, ah! (And I've done my share of 3* restaurants in Europe).
Combined with a correct level of service, not too steep a price and one of the best stocked cellars in Northern Spain when it comes to Rioja and I know I'll be back!
And: Since my own country does have a rather nice reputation regarding seafood there is no way past Bagatelle in Oslo. Elaborately prepared dishes that never lose sight of the origins of the raw material.
