Order around seafood first, then keep the meal focused

The strongest way to use the menu is to start with Cantabrian seafood and build outward.

Because the appeal is seafood-led, the safest choices are the named signatures. Boga-Boga is not a venue to overcomplicate: choose the seafood dishes that match the size of the table and let the meal stay focused on local fish and shellfish rather than treating it as a broader mixed-menu experience.
