This year's award will honour the career of Aitor Arregi, who runs the Elkano restaurant in Getaria and is widely regarded as the world's best fish griller. Following in the footsteps of his father, Pedro Arregi, who started the tradition in the 1960s, Arregi has become the heir to a family history of seafaring and cooking. He has evolved the tradition while preserving his father's values, teaching us all to enjoy seafood in a way that is both simple and complex. Aitor reveals the invisible essence of fish, seducing the world with his unique cooking style, following his father's advice: 'Buy well and try not to spoil it'.
