This week's edition is devoted to the all-mighty king of Portuguese gastronomic tradition: codfish. An obligatory ingredient at every Christmas table in Portugal! The history of codfish is as exciting as its unrivalled flavour.
Food & Drink
Eating in Aveiro
Aveiro cuisine is naturally deeply influenced by the sea flavours, for there are many restaurants in the city where we can eat the freshest fish varieties and seafood. And obviously, codfish. Portugal's favourite fish.
Codfish aquarium
The Codfish Aquarium is a must-see spot of the city of Ílhavo, which so intensely promotes the preservation of sea traditions.
Bela Ria
Bela Ria is a cosy restaurant, specialised in codfish, located in Gafanha de Áquem (6,5 km away from Aveiro). It is one of those off the beaten track-spots that will strike you with its unpretentious ambiance and friendly service.
Terra Nova
The recently released Portuguese movie "Terra Nova" is a moving portrayal of the harsh lives of the men who fished codfish in the freezing waters of the Northern seas. This expedition on board of the cod-fishing sailing ship "Terra Nova" was surprisingly led to Greenland.
Codfish & Christmas
The almighty king of the Portuguese table also pays a visit on Christmas, namely on December 24th.
