I think the fresh food supply here in Ponta Delgada is one of the best among the Atlantic Islands I have visited so far. The market hall – although under refurbishment – has got impressive choice of fruits and vegetables at very local prices and excellent quality. The same applies for the fish area, where you can only get local fresh fish.
After a series of tuna sessions, I opted today for a Parrot Fish. Got two filets cut out of the whole fish and threw in my limited cooking skills to prepare the dish. I was hungry after the bike ride.
Besides some seasonal mixed vegetables, I fried the fish filet in olive oil and Teriyaki sauce while adding some sesame seeds.
😋 Yummy. Not the last time.
Fair winds…
The next festival will start in less than a week’s time: Festival das Marés 2022 scheduled from 11-13 August.
