With 125 miles (200km) of Atlantic coastline, the Algarve relies heavily on seafood
in its cuisine – and the fish market in Olhao is the place to see and buy it. The displays
may lack the finesse of La Bretxa in San Sebastian, but boasts similar levels of variety
and unsurpassed freshness. I jumped back in surprise as a Dover sole curled and
flipped on the slab.
The market was part of a six-hour, Saturday food marathon organised by Eating Algarve
(eatingalgarvetours.com), which offers a portfolio of tours across the region taking in
Lagos, Loule, Silves, Faro and Algarve wine country as well, all tapping into the
increased interest in Algarve cuisine.
Six miles (10km) east of Faro Olhao retains the rough and ready air of a working
fishing port. At 10.30am,the beer and wine flowed at a hole-in-the-wall
café built into the exterior of the fish market where we sampled
bifana – thin pork cutlets marinated in red wine and garlic and
served in a traditional Portuguese bread roll.
We headed through the narrow streets of the Seven Elbows neighbourhood
to the rustic Bioco restaurant where we ate generous plates of seared tuna
served with sautéed peppers, and then on to seafront diner Bento where
owner, and former boxer, Antonio Bento served us his knockout creation
of prawns in a sauce made from locally grown oranges and garlic.
