An experience to savour

The Portuguese national dish, bacalhau, or salt cod, has its origins on the Grand Banks of the North Atlantic, where the Portuguese once played a major role in manning the fishing boats. A flavorful fish, to say the least, there are supposedly at least 365 ways to prepare it. It’s difficult to find any restaurant in Portugal that doesn’t serve some form of it - the most popular is probably bacalhau à braz, a stir fry of cod, chips, scrambled eggs, and onions, garnished with black olives and parsley.
