Fish in Peniche

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that fish and Peniche rhyme.  Considering Peniche is an important fishing port, you can only assume how fresh their fish is.  Not only is it fresh, but it’s also an affordable price.  We ate at the best restaurant in town and had a full course meal for only 10 euros.  It included drinks, bread, salad, fish, potatoes, and dessert! They serve the fish of the day.  You can see my delicious fresh catch below.  Because I love seafood, it is one of my favorite parts about living here.  There is seafood everywhere and in every meal.  For example, at school, I can get a meal for only 2 euros, including a drink, soup, bread, fish, salad, and dessert!  I am sure going to miss eating fish so often, for so cheap and so fresh. Although their most famous fish isn’t seen on this plate, their most famous dish is bacalhau, or codfish.  The Portuguese say there are over 365 ways to make bacalhau, one for each day of the year.  I can testify that I have eaten this fish in more ways that I ever knew possible.
