About Cais do Pescado | Restaurantes Aveiro

Lunch or dinner at Cais do Pescado is a proper seafood meal in the middle of Aveiro, the kind where the fish arrives at the table in ways that make you slow down. The portuguese seafood rice and the octopus cataplana collect the most praise by some distance — the cataplana in particular draws people back more than once. Cod gets its own following here: the house version, shredded with straw potatoes, black olives and onion, bound with egg, is the one reviewers single out by name, alongside bacalhau à brás and grilled cod on a couscous and broad bean base. Clams cooked in butter open many meals well. João and Marcelo are the names that come up when people write about the service — attentive, warm with young children, and good at talking through the menu.
