What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was deeply impressed by the pure, natural flavors of the seafood in Matosinhos, particularly the fatty and meaty grilled turbot. He noted that the traditional method of using heavy rock salt on the grill perfectly seals in the juices and oils of the fish. Mark concluded that the quality of the fresh catch justifies the area's reputation for having some of the best seafood in the world.
