Portuguese cuisine is a pescatarian's delight. The Portuguese eat more fish than any other country in Europe, befitting one of the world leaders in the fishing industry. The most popular seafood dish in Portugal is bacalhau, Portuguese salted codfish, and it can be found on menus nationwide. Other meat dishes, particularly pork, are also common (a number of meats feature into the popular francesinha sandwich, and porco à alentejana pairs pork with clams). Portuguese cuisine is heavy on cooking with garlic and olive oil, and the country is a major producer of both staples. For dessert, the selection of Portuguese sweets and cakes is massive, ranging from pão doce to pasteis de nata. To learn more about Portuguese dishes from breakfast to dinner, click here.
