Sardines are the thinking man's choice

1. Salmon
2. Sardines
3. Mackerel
4. Trout
5. Tuna
6. Carp

Here's the key to eating Sardines - I'm from the country in which Sardines are a national treasure:

Preferably in the Summer, when they're fatter and juicer.
Grill them, slice up a piece of good bread and grill red and greed bell pepper.
Put everything together in a sandwich that will make you orgasm. You can thank me later

In the northwest US, the most valuable fish are wild Chinook, Coho and Chum salmon. The salmon season is a big event each year. Various trout species are also popular, especially Rainbow. I kind of like the wild invasive goldfish we have around here. You can catch them without a permit since they are an invasive species. They get pretty big, and their flesh is tender and mild since they don't eat aquarium flakes all the time.

red and green bell peppers*
A dash of olive oil is recommended but optional

I like really tender fish like halibut and flounder. When cooked correctly, they are like the butter version of fish. Lamprey and eel are also really good.

...

You guys don't have flounder, haddock, swordfish, etc?

>no baked potatoes
>sandwich
>olive oil being optional

We probably do if I go to a fish ''aisle'' at any hypermarket. I'm just not an expert, so I wouldn't even be able to name 25% of the fish being sold there

That's if you plan to eat sardines with fork and knife. Sardine sandies is the way to go, bro

Hey Portugal bro, I'm going to be visiting your country (just Lisbon) for the first time in early January next year, I have a couple questions:

What food do I have to try? If you know any good restaurants that'd be great too.

I speak a few words of Portuguese but my Spanish is much better (and I'm obviously a native English speaker), I assume I won't have much trouble communicating?

Anything else you think is worth mentioning?

pic related is a god tier way of eating haddock. When they're small, we ring them like that and fry them. It's great.
Some people really like swordfish, but it's not that common to have around. Most people will have it once in a while in a restaurant.
Another big star around here that hasn't been mentioned is the "gilt headed bream", which we call dourada. It's fat, juicy and delicious.

Flounder fucking sucks.

>not eating several sardines from a single piece of bread, dousing each of them with olive oil.
>not eating that single piece of bread at the end of the meal as it's own dish, as it is now deliciously soaked in olive oil and sardine fat.

One day you will understand.

I think you should try good seafood (Cervejaria Ramiro is highly rated). Perhaps, some fish-based dishes such as Bacalhau à Brás/Bacalhau com natas/Bacalhau à Braga etc. just do try some different, but yummy. I think you should follow Tripadvisor's recommendations. Oh, I don't forget our pride and joy: Pasteis de Belém

Well, regarding your Spanish, don't ever use it lol. It's kinda seen as disrespectful. Just speak English and you'll be ok.

I think this is pretty useful reddit.com/r/portugal/wiki/lisbon

If you need anything else, just ask the folks at r/Portugal, they're usually helpful towards tourists

I hope you enjoy your time here ;)

> Cod
You fell for the Bergen jew.

Forget about oil, pal. You're rich because of all the klippfisk we buy from you guys ;)

Not the OP, but since I'm also a Portugal bro, I might as well give my 2 cents.

The list of food to try is endless, you'd have to be here for a year or risk becoming morbidly obese. Nevertheless, some essential and accessible things would be the seafood (camarão, lagostim, sapateira, santola), the many manifestations of cod fish (bacalhau à brás, bacalhau à lagareiro) and the many manifestations of pork (carne de porco à alentejana, leitão, entrecosto). Also, try some of the street foods like bifanas and pão com chouriço. Avoid sardines outside of summer and beware of regional foods being served outside of their place of origin.
Lisbon is very hit and miss with food, especially for tourists. The shittier looking places will often be the ones that will serve you the best meal. Your best bet would be to venture into the suburbs a bit, places like Almada and finding a nice place there. The food will be nicer, cheaper and more authentic.

Honestly it's better if you just speak English, most people will understand you. Most portuguese people find it really insulting and ridiculous when non-spanish speaking foreigners just assume that we'll understand their broken as fuck spanish better than we would their fluent english. I know I do.

Don't just stay in Lisbon. This is super important.

where my anchovy boys at?

While I envy your more eloquent reply I get a pass because I'm hitting the bottle :^)

0. Cod (not really flavourful on its own, but works with everything because of it).
1. Trout
2. Sardines
3. Garrick/Leerfish (Dourada)
4. Black Swordfish
5. Lamprey

Also special mentions to the molluscs: Octopus and Cuttlefish. Squids aren't really my jam.

>Sardines not on broa
fucking cityboy, get out of my memesite

We ARE the Bergen jew.

Swordfish (the one that looks like a sword, not the one with a pointy nose), is very common. So is flounder and haddock, actually. They are just less consumed because of the wider availability of the other ones.

THANK you for mentioning BROA
THANK YOU
I was really starting to feel like the uber redneck from Bragança that I am

I live in Saitama prefecture, Japan.
I imagine them when I hear "fish".

1. Aji (a horse mackerel)
2. Shake (salmon)
3. Samma (saury)
4. Hokke (an Atka mackerel)

Among them, I especially love "Aji no Hiraki (a cut open and dried horse mackerel).
This is a quite common Japanese dinner.

Forgot petinga, jaquinzinhos and peixinhos da horta (i.e. the thing Japanese got tempura from).

Also just generally deep fried small fish that you eat whole, bones and everything in one go.

Can't eat Sardines on regular pão. You've got to have them in Broa.

I find it hard to understand why Portugal is obsessed with cod, a fish from quite far away in comparison to the Mediterranean fishes that are so much closer to them. Did Spain block your access to the Med THAT much historically?

Red mullet, grouper, sea bream, sea bass, amberjack, bluefish all MUCH tastier fishes

P.S. Haddock is much tastier than cod.

We have broa here too. Maybe it's a pastiche, but still. But yeah, good bread is the key

I envy your hitting of the bottle more than you envy my eloquent reply.

Thanks guys :)

Also, I'm a fan of beer and red wine, any recommendations?

Eating baby fish is unsustainable asshole. We'll be left with nothing in the sea at this rate. Fry some anchovies if or picarel if you want small fry.

Gilt-headed breams are indeed fantastic.

REGULAR PÃO IS FINE

>Did Spain block your access to the Med THAT much historically
Maybe for trading during the middle ages, but Galiza and Portugal have always been essentially Atlantic fishing settlements since time imemorial.

Cod came later when we began exploring Canada (Newfoundland was literally translated from Terra Nova do Bacalhau - New land of codfish).

It works because nobody eats it outside of Portugal, and the salting method of conserving it made its fibers weaker and better for soaking up spices.

This means that most poor people had access to the fish, and each region basically came up with 2 or 3 different recipes for it, most of which are fucking delicious:

Just a bunch of examples:
>Bacalhau à Brás
>Bacalhau com Natas
>Bacalhau à Zé do Pipo
>Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá
>Bacalhau à Lagareiro
>Bacalhau com todos
and the absolute epitome of culinary achievement in all continents:
>Pastéis de Bacalhau

Broa de milho or nothing. Same with migas.

Go up to Coimbra. Eat at Zé Manel dos Ossos. For around 10€ you'll get the best meal of your life, made of typical Portuguese food in a 10sq meter restaurant.

RUULLEE BRITTANNIAAA

1-Pirarucu
2-Cod
3-Salmon
4-Cação (Shark)
5-Tambaqui

Sardine tastes just like a tilapia or merluza, I see no fun in it

Also forgot catfish. Not traditional here, but fried fillet of catfish with just some black pepper is fucking amazing.

Piracucu, Cação and Tambaqui sound intriguing. Sopa memes aside, Brazil has severly underrated food.

When I lived in London I used to eat a ton of whitebait because it reminded me of our little fish. They had it in boxes in Iceland, decent and retty cheap.
pic is plate i did when I was drunk with those lattice chips for some reason

>whitebait

Very tasty but:

>Given that UK and imported whitebait still consists of immature herring, sprat, sardines, mackerel, bass and many others, it is not an ecologically viable foodstuff. Removing these fish at such a juvenile stage, before they have had a chance to grow and reproduce, might severely reduce future fish stocks. The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is a non-government organisation that provides independent information on the sustainability of fish stocks and species around the world, and has a rating system for fish sustainability, in order to safeguard future stocks [2]. The MCS suggests avoiding eating and purchasing the juvenile whitebait as it is detrimental to sustainable fish populations.

Mediterranean picarels and sand-smelts are much tastier and actually sustainable to eat. You can find them in most Southern European countries.

There's an infinity of wines you can try. Periquita and Cabeça de Burro are good.

For beer you have exactly two choices, Sagres or Super Bock. I prefer Sagres, but northerners drink Super Bock exclusively. Both better than Fosters, though ;)

>sole
>that look of moistness on the crusted part
utterly revolting

Brits seem to like Super Bock, mainly because it's cheap, but I wouldn't really say our beer is great. Well, for the price it is, but doesn't compare to Northern/Central European beer

No one drinks Fosters here. Melbourne Bitter is my go to lager and Furphy's is the patrician Aussie ale, make sure you try it if you get the chance.

How much would a pint be at a pub over there? And how about a sixpack from a supermarket?

ANOTHER THING:
Don't ever, ever assume that drugs in Portugal are LEGAL, because they're not.
If Moroccans or Gypsies offer your ''hashish'', shun them, because they'd be selling you rolled up bay leaves because, you know, drugs here are ILLEGAL. They won't pester you, they're just trying to cash in on the tourists' ignorance that drugs are legal here

...

Hey portupals, are the Azores a nice place to visit?

I assume it's not very difficult to find weed though? I remember in Prague it had been decriminalised too and plenty of bars/cafes were selling it under the counter. Similar story in Barcelona.

No. Stay out.

>portugueses no /luso/

>portugueses numa thread de ranking de peixe

AVE PÁTRIA

Another thing, will I be shunned for saying você instead of tu?

>tfw most portuguese lessons on youtube are brazilian

...

...

Threads de culinária são sempre as melhores do Sup Forums.

Not shunned, but probably corrected a lot.

So long as you don't say "gracias", people won't be offended, just worried for you. Learn a couple of swear words to get into the populace's heart and you're golden:

fuck it -> foda-se (just say dusss)

Sorry mate. The Azores is where all Portuguese go when they die. It's our valhalla.

The Azores are idyllic, this is indisputable. Imagine the ''greenness'' of Ireland in a depopulated place lost in the middle of the Atlantic. With that being said, I'm not trying to sway you to visit, I'm just fearful that uncontrolled tourism might have a nefarious effect for the local population.

Dude, you can even buy 1L of beer in the supermarket for 0.89euro. But. This is the cheapest one.
In the bar, 0.33cl will cost around 80cents-1euro.
Generally the best wine is produced in "Herdade do Esporão". It's very easy to identify this wine
Para quê andar num fio merda onde ninguém fala nada de jeito?

If you insist on having a pint, in Lisbon it'll be about 2.50€ - 4€. I'd recommend getting an "imperial", which comes in a smaller glass and is the way you're meant to drink beer here. In that case, it'll be 0.80€ - 1.50€

Beer in supermarkets can be dirt cheap. You can get litre bottles for 0.89€. A 33cl bottle of Sagres costs like 40 something cents.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but don't buy drugs from people you don't trust. I believe there's plenty of hashish around, you know, since Morocco is just down South. But still, befriend a few trustworthy locals before you think of buying some, unless you want to end up with leftover bay leaves. Hey, it may good for the dish you may want to make!

lagermind

Good list, Portugal

t. New England

I'll probably never go, it just seems like a beautiful place

how do I say cheers mate?

also any other phrases/words to impress portufriends with? :^)

>not liking glorious Dover Sole.
learn2eat.

Obrigado - Thanks
Por Favor - Please
Caralho is our version of ''fuck''. It can be used in a good or a bad way lol

North: Obrigado, ó maninho.
South: Tá-se bem, chaval

Lol don't troll him

it's a gay place for fags

I actually never tried that one. Aldi has also cheap ones for 89cents. Belgium beer if I'm not mistaken. Cergal is also not that bad.

Say "esta rodada pago eu"

>how do I say cheers mate?
We don't have cutesy ways for that. Obrigado means thank you. Sometimes shortened to just 'brigado, because who fucking cares about vowels.

>any other phrases/words to impress portufriends
I honestly can't think of anything that isn't just cheap swearing.

But Aussies and Kiwis and Anglos in general have compatible humour to ours (mostly sarcasm, self-deprecation and trying to out-smartass each other), so I wouldn't be too worried.

>esta rodada pago eu
this

Outro dia bebi ''Argus'' do Lidl. Nada má, sabe a Sagres hahaha

it's true, though

1. Swordfish
2. Cod
3. Salmon
4. Tuna
5. Saithe

Halibut is my favorite

Não bebas essa merda, uma vez numa festa deixámos uma garrafa aberta de um dia para o outro e aquilo ficou tipo uma pasta, foi horrível. Acho que mesmo assim a Lager é a melhorzita da prateleira dos horrores

Oh, I forgot:
9999. Panga

Também me aconteceu isso na semana passada ao beber a cerveja do Aldi. Só aconteceu 1 vez em 17 bebidas. Mas a minha nem aberta foi, já estava em gelatina.

O 4º Reich vai nos genocidar com cerveja barata

All seafood is horrid

I love meat as much as the next guy, but come on...
You need some Cod in your life

He's talking about marisco
That's seafood

Yeah durr
But I was wrong because we was wrong
Plus, I never miss a chance to shill Kabeljauw
