Where to recharge (and relax) after a day of golf in the Empordà
The Empordà is, without a doubt, one of the undisputed paradises for golf lovers in Europe. Its combination of rolling landscapes, Mediterranean climate and world-class courses attracts players every year looking for the perfect swing. However, any golfer knows that the game does not end on hole 18. The true golden climax of a sporting day is played on “hole 19”: that moment of disconnection, confidences between friends and, of course, an excellent gastronomic offer to recover the energy invested on the green.
A few minutes from the main courses in the region, in the picturesque town of Gualta, there is the ideal refuge for this post-match ritual: the Tritó Restaurant. A space designed to prolong the good feelings of the day through the palate and relaxation.

5 white fish that you can prepare just like baked sole
The fill the oven it is, in all likelihood, one of the standards of Mediterranean seafood cuisine. The firm, delicate meat and that strong touch that respects the flavor of the sea make it an unbeatable dish. Tot i això, at Empordà, our coast now offers a more extensive rebost.
A Tritó, our restaurant in the heart of the Empordà, believes in the versatility of fresh produce. Therefore, here we present five white fish that, prepared with both the technical material and the filling, offer spectacular results that will be transported directly to our streets.
1. Turbot (Brèmol)
If you are looking for a similar texture but with a sweeter touch, turbot is the ideal candidate. Like the llenguado, it greatly benefits from a simple cooking in the oven over a litt of forner potatoes. Seva pell provides a natural gelatin that creates a smooth and exquisite sauce, greatly appreciated by our diners at Tritón.
2. La Daurada Salvatge
The daurada of our tea costs a taste subtly sweet for the best food. Preparing the “a l’esquena” or al forn with a refregit d’alls i bitxo (a style similar to llenguado a la bilbaïna) enhances its freshness. It is an elegant, light and perfect fish for a soup paired with a white wine from the D.O. Empordà.
3. The Pargo (Pagre)
Menys known by the general public but revered by local fishermen, snapper is the hidden treasure of the Mediterranean. The meat is a smoother mica than the filling, which allows it to withstand much of the high temperatures of the forn without losing its texture. An extra green olive slice from the area is all you need.
4. The Sea Bass (Llobarro)
The llobarro is the queen of sobriety. At the forn, both slices of lemon and a touch of wild fonoll, emulates the sophistication of the llenguado but with a more defined flake of meat. In the fires of Tritó, the tractem with the maximum respect because the client felt the roar of the sea at every mos.
5. The Dentó
Fix the list with a bit of character. The tooth is powerful and you taste it. Preparing it in the “llenguat al forn” style – with a base of potato, barley and a white grape vine – allows the six ingredients to permeate the garnish, creating a harmony of flavors that defines the essence of Empordanese cuisine.
