tapas bar recommendation

[april]

And while we're on the subject of 'what has estonia got to do with it' I think the question was 'can anybody recommend the tapas bar!?!!' Talk about digressing!

[Sandy]

Sadly - having just returned after a couple of weeks of almost constantly eating out - the Tapas Bar is the one place I would cross the street to avoid. Everything we sampled on the 'special platter for four seemed to have come freshly out of a tin! Give it a miss.

Tinned fish is thought to be healthier for you than fresh and includes Sardinhas,Cavala = mackeral,anchovies and others as they are rich in Omega 3 fish oils

Somehow I don't think you are quite right there. You trying to say that they add the Omega 3 oils to the can? These essential oils are present in the fish whether they are fresh or canned.

P.S. They also contain Omega 6 as well

[minx]

I dont know anything about these oils except they are the right sort of oils? So you are saying they are there in fresh fish then why are health police always going on about tinned fish being esseential to our health If you are right and you seem knowledgeable on this,why bother to eat the tinned stuff?
Have I opened a can of worms here?

It keeps better in the fridge, you wouldn´t want to smell all fishy ,I´m sure.
(after reading your previous posts !!?? )

Omega 3 'oils ' are essential fatty acids, which means that the body cannot make them. They are found primarily in fatty fish. People would recommend canned fish because it so difficult to find the fresh variety, except perhaps for salmon.

I wouldn't suggest you open a can of worms, except perhaps to use to catch the fish

nothing gets past you does it mr Full Stop? Ive never heard of fat in fish.Do you mean I could put on weight through eating too much? :shock:I eat a lot of swordfish in Portugal but seems a very dry fish.
Im not quite sure what Homme poco is getting at,poco is shaft in Portuguese

Everything that lives has fat in it of one form or another. The human body gets four different types of fat from food.

Omega 3 fats are polyunsaturated fats, and you must have heard of the benefits of these over saturated fats

Eat enough fish and you will get fat. Have you ever seen a skinny fish?

[minx]

How about an eel?
Yes Ive heard of polyun stuff but I find a lot of this health jargon a bit confusing have to admit. Most of tinned fish has bones that we can eat so thats calcium isnt it and good for our bones or have I got that wrong too Full Stop?

what about an eel?

You're not thinking of entering a competition are you that the master joke teller told about on the other forum?

[minx]

An eel is a skinny fish? Master joke teller?do you mean me? No that would make me a mistress Just had a look on there again. I like snakes and eels but dont think I could manage that

[bifas 1st darling!]

Have not tried this particular tapas bar in CVO but be aware Portuguese tapas is a miilion miles away from Spanish tapas. If youre looking for Meatballs, Kidneys in sherry Tortilla get in your car and drive 100kms accross into Spain and have the real thing.Perhaps one day an enterprising Spaniard with Tapas skills might just see there is a market for this delicious snack

The Portuguese word for tapas is petisco

Have you ever tried a petisco? I think you'll find they are far superior to many things served in Spain.

Try moelas, pipis, caracóis, carapaus alimados, orelha de porco a coentrada, conquilhas, salada de polvo, salada de ovas, caranguejo do rio, sapateira, sardinha frita, moreia frita, polvo seco, berbigão, ameijoa a Bulhão Pato the list is endless.


You probably won't find anywhere in Carvoeiro serving these dishes, but there are several places in Lagoa

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM i love it when B1D talks about food

[digger]

yes but not the caracóis
luv the baby carapaus tho
