- "A visit to La Boquería is certainly worth while; it is the best showcase of ingredients in the city, with its fish products which arrive at the market from 7 pm, and fresh fish from the port of Rosas, as well as salt fish, poultry, fruit, meat and offal. Here one can find things that are impossible to find anywhere else in Barcelona."
- Manuel Vázquez Montalban - Writer

- Ferran Adrià - Chef at El Bulli Restaurant (Foreword of the book La Cuina de la Boqueria)
