Portuguese Grilled Fish (Sardine)

Today, I want to talk about the delicious grilled fish from Portugal, I like Spanish food, so I think the Portuguese food will not make me disappointment. We went to a Portuguese restaurant and ordered this food - a grilled the sardine.

We planned to ordered the grilled the codfish, but when we smelled the grilled sardine which from a grilled booth was settled in front of restaurant, we decided to replace to the sardine.

The first look was every refreshing, the fish were served with steamed potato, grilled pepper and onion, also with olive. I can smell the flavour of sea because the fish was not trimmed that is the best way to lock the original flavour, even if the outside environment is changing, the inner of the fish body is still the original flavour as they were in the sea.
















The fish were grilled without any extra seasoning except the salt, head taste more salty than tail. Fish meat were very tight (compaction). When I bite the fish, the first flavour went into mouth was the taste of sea. This reminded me when I did fishing on the sea in my hometown, we directly cooked the seafood with seawater. That will make the food as their original taste.

I asked the chef whether they grilled the fish with sea salt, but actually they used the normal salt. For me, I prefer the sea salt instead of the normal one.

Anyway, it was still a good dish for me. I will go back to there and try some others.
