    I have lived in Northern Portugal for nearly 34 years. I can honestly say that nowhere else I have travelled can rival Portugal for its fish, seafood, olive oil, cheese, bread , olives and wine. Wonderful people too.

      There are a few foods you may eat that was taught to the Japanese by the Portuguese.
      If you had what you call egg ramen, tempura shrimp, some cakes (which I don't recall 😅), then you have experienced some of the Portuguese influence from when they visited the island almost half millennia ago.
      Food taught by the Portuguese that now are an integral part of the Japanese cuisine. How cool is that?
      And Japan is only one of many.

      Actually in Portugal we're not that much of seafood lovers 😅 There's the occasional sardine, tuna, shrimp and lobster but those things... Require WORK to eat them. You have to dodge the occasional bone and break carapace to get to the meat.... And the protein feel-full ratio is not that beneficial. Soooo yeah... Meat gets the throne. Seafood is light food you know... It's understandable that your girlfriend hasn't mentioned you this... We just don't think too much of it. This is like "Food tourism" in a way... They're looking for specific cultural things that the country has a specialty in it. For sure... You won't eat good seafood like this in other countries, that's GRANTED. If you want a "seafood rollercoaster"... Yup, Portugal is the place

      I am Portuguese and lived in Spain for a long time before coming back.
      Although you are correct in both of them being underrated, I think they are very different cuisines.
      My feeling is that on high end cuisine the Spaniards have us beat since the times of El Bulli. They consistently have multiple restaurants in the top 10 or 20 of the world because their expert chefs are REALLY good and they have some incredible ingredients.
      But for day to day, traditional food the chance of you walking in a restaurant and feeling really happy with what you are eating is higher in Portugal, and my wife (who is russian) pointed out a good reason for it.
      See I (and a huge percentage of Portuguese including men) can cook 95% of what I eat in a Portuguese restaurant, of course not to the same level of expertise, but quite approximately, so when I go out and ask for something that I know I can eat, I have a clear reference of what things are supposed to taste like or feel, and that puts some pressure on the cooks to be better at what they do.
      I have travelled quite a bit and that experience of just walking in a random restaurant or tasca and always feeling welcomed and well served only happened to me in one other place, Italy..
      Sorry for the long reply.

    Don’t forget to try out the Lamprey rice, a traditional dish from the Minho region. It’s seasonal, therefore only available from January up until April.

    Great video again Mark. Been fortunate enough to have lived in Portugal for 6 years and even till this day, I come to Matoshinhos every year at the end of our holiday, to eat grilled sardines and Lulas grelhados. We grill a dourada on charcoal almost every second weekend, so I am very used to the wonderful taste of grilled fish, but the way the sardines taste in Portugal is just mesmerising so I don't make those at home, and enjoy them only when I'm back in Portugal. And it is always worth the wait.
    But people, apart from the plates that Mark ate, which all had hefty price tags, the most wonderful thing about Portugal in general is, that you can go into almost any restaurant and have a fresh fish option every day. Beit a balcalhau dish, a grilled fish dish or something else (filetes de pescado, for example). And that is eating for €10-15. Amazing!
    The one thing I must say about Tito 2, is that it is the only restaurant I have ever eaten sardines and they didn't come with a salad as standard. Sardines, boiled potatoes, and a salad with roasted green or red paprikas, that is the true tradition. Why Tito 2 doesn't serve salad with their sardines, is beyond me.

      In this Market, you can choose and pay the fish and seafood and ask one of the several restaurants located inside the market, included a Sushi Bar, to prepare your chosen meal, and then you pay the service and the beverages. It's a great experience!

    I'm definitely not a fair eater. I mean, I can't even come close to Mark, in terms of the quantity of food I could intake in a day. I would be a sort of fingerfood eater. But this seafood of Porto made my mouth water. It was indeed a huge plater display of seafood. It was as if I got dive into a seafood bed.

    Gooseneck Barnacles are amazing. Easy to get here in Oregon, but we have a dumb limit of 10 per person on them. I kinda get it, but makes it hard to do a meal unless you get lots of people to forage them.
    Taste like crab to me, look like alien something you don't want to eat.
