MATOSINHOS, PORTUGAL - Some say that Portugal has the best seafood in the world and today we’re going to find out why. With pristine cold water Atlantic ocean spanning the west and south coasts, Portugal is a seafood paradise. Today we’re eating our way through Matosinhos, a port and fishing town just outside of Porto.
Huge thank you to Taste Porto (tasteporto.com/) for taking me on this incredible tour - they are the best! Thank you André Apolinário and Ricardo Brochado, it was amazing to hang out with them. Check them out for incredible food tours in Porto.
Mercado Municipal de Matosinhos - The local market is one of the best places to begin your seafood tour. The market is clean and organized and home to extremely fresh seafood of the day. You can also get all sorts of vegetables and fruits while you’re at it.
Restaurante Tito 2 (maps.app.goo.gl/2jbGqUBNa8tYF...) - Andre arranged for us to go to one of his favorite seafood restaurants in Matosinhos. Here you can choose the fish you want, and they will grill it, or prepare just the way you want it. The Rodovalho Grelhado - Grilled Turbot was fantastic, as was the Lulas - Grilled Squid, and the Pargo Grelhado - Grilled Porgi.
Restaurante Os Lusíadas (maps.app.goo.gl/W8DTiynoWQH7a...) - But the highlight of this Portugal seafood tour was Restaurante Os Lusíadas, an upper scale seafood restaurant that serves the absolute best and freshest seafood you can imagine. It was indeed among the best quality seafood I’ve had in my life. We had Amêijoas à Bolhão Pato - Clams Portuguese Style, a huge seafood cocktail platter for 4, Arroz de lavagante - Lobster Rice, and Robalo ao sal - Sea Bass Salt Flambée!
If you love seafood, Matosinhos is a place you have to visit when you’re in Portugal!
Thank you again to André and Ricardo from Taste Porto (tasteporto.com/)!

I have lived in Northern Portugal for nearly 34 years. I can honestly say that nowhere else I have travelled can rival Portugal for its fish, seafood, olive oil, cheese, bread , olives and wine. Wonderful people too.
Portuguease west coast has the best fish and shelfish!
Thailand better
@@chowyunfat2851 better for chemicals
Never seen such clean, sanitized and well maintained market before. Wow, this should be the standard for the whole world!! 🌍
I was saying the same. Normally seafood market is very smelly and dirty.
Yes I only realized that once I went outside Portugal, but most Euro markets are clean to be honest.
Here in Portugal there is ASAE,they assault every stores and markets to make sure they are clean and sanitized!
@@linhduong0809 even the modest village markets here are clean!
Hats off to Portugal. That looked amazing. Love from Japan.
Japan & Portugal share a bit of history as you might know already..
Love from Portugal to Japan! Love you guys! (we love Asian cuisine btw! our little secret mueheheheheh)
We portuguese Love Japan!!
We portuguese also love and truly respect your culture, makes sence that we were ur first ally country, was one of the few we do not even want to colonize but sit and share culture till thiss day i talk by myself i trully love japan and is 1# in my bucket list
Hats off to Japan as well for the incredible food, culture, history and top notch society. One of my favourite countries in the world. Love from Portugal.
I go to Portugal 🇵🇹 for food always. People say that France Italy 🇮🇹 have the best culinary in Europe, I always say that Portugal got the best and that France and Italy only promote their food better….. BUT THE PORTUGUESE COSINE Is the greatest
Portugal have without any doubts the best fish and seafood in the world.
I´m not agree. Italy has the best seafood in the world. But all the tourists come for pasta, pasta, pasta ... they never show ALL the italian cuisine.
This dish we have seen in the video you can find in any seafood restaurant in Milan. Imagine in a sea place like Sicily.
@@SandBoy408 you are a funny guy...please stay with your pasta and pizzas...let the seafood and fish masters do the rest! 😉
@mYou don´t know absolutely nothing about italian cuisine, our fish and seafood dishes. Don´t worry, i can find better seafood in Italy. Don´t need to go to Portugal. Even the "baccalá" is much better ;)
@@SandBoy408 Yeah right pizza boy keep dreaming! 🤣
Galician food and seafood as well one of the best. Portugal and Galicia neighbours and with fantastic gastronomy .
I agree, our neighbours up North have such an amazing cuisine!
Northern Spain has such amazing food, and is so Portuguese 🙂
We are brothers/sisters separated by a border!
@@anna3046 Luckily the border is only drawn on a map and not between the people!
indeed hermana
I lived in Senhora da Hora in Matosinhos. So amazing!! Best seafood ever. I hope you enjoyed it. Northern Portugal has the most amazing people and food. Que Saudades tenho do Porto e de Portugal.
Obrigado por essa mensagem. I hope you can come back soon :)
Forte abraço
Quem sabe o que é Saudade, tem de conhecer Portugal. Best Regards!
Seafood lover here! I have to admit that the Portuguese seafood is the best it feels like I'm in paradise while I'm eating 😅 just love Portugal with all my heart, well done Mark you're a star.
Its a pitty how Portugal allways has been so underrated!Portugal its so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!Theres allways a lot more in such a tiny country!
Hope this brings across just how spectacular Portuguese cuisine is.
If italians are the masters of pastas and pizza portuguese are the masters of fish and seafood without a doubt!
Stayed in the North of Portugal for a while (Viana Do Castello) back in 2016-2017, and every day I had fresh sea food. The best in the world. Portuguese people are very nice as well.
You were in my city! Thank you for the nice words.
I have lived in Portugal for 26 years in the Algarve the sea food and shell fish is amazing.. Mark is spot on!!
I went to Armacao De Pera in the Algarve in Portugal seven years ago and the fish and seafood was always fresh and amazing and restaurants at the time were really cheap
My wife is a teacher and I've been showing her Marks videos she's now using them in her classroom for her kids! Shes using them to show them different cultures and having them write reports on them really cool! Much love and blessings to the Wiens family all 10 million of them 😅
Cleanest (Fish) Market I've seen in my life
Where you find the best fish and seafood in the world 👍🏻
That market is absolutely beautiful
I've been in Portugal twice! The food is to die for! My girlfriend is from Portugal, she has some explanaining to do as she haven't taken me to the seafood mountain 😂
Actually in Portugal we're not that much of seafood lovers 😅 There's the occasional sardine, tuna, shrimp and lobster but those things... Require WORK to eat them. You have to dodge the occasional bone and break carapace to get to the meat.... And the protein feel-full ratio is not that beneficial. Soooo yeah... Meat gets the throne. Seafood is light food you know... It's understandable that your girlfriend hasn't mentioned you this... We just don't think too much of it. This is like "Food tourism" in a way... They're looking for specific cultural things that the country has a specialty in it. For sure... You won't eat good seafood like this in other countries, that's GRANTED. If you want a "seafood rollercoaster"... Yup, Portugal is the place
@@Trip4man Thats not really true, at least not in the regions closest to the coast. Shrimp, mussels and clams are always present as starters in any event here. Plus, a lot of seafood places located near piers are usually filled with locals. But it´s true that some people don´t wanna "work" for the food, I´ve seen a couple of wives having to do the messy bit for their husbands haha
We are seafood lovers!!
@LshowKnows from what I've seen and eaten, it's basically 70% seafood in Porto area and Lisbon atleast. And it was delicious 🤌🤌
But I totally fell in love pastel de nata ♥️ I ate so much of it, I embarrassed my fiancé 😂. My favourite pastel spot is in Porto, it's called Manteigaria😍
Welcome again in Portugal! You are my favourite food blogger. I’m Bangladeshi, I live in Portugal. Thanks for coming. You are also my sons favourite food blogger. 🇵🇹🇧🇩
Seafood lovers paradise!!! 😋 Amazing video, Mark!!!!! I only wish I could visit Portugal ....cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 😀
One day, hopefully, Iʻll make it to Portugal to see where my ancestors came from - Azores.
Come back to your roots^^
Azores is fantastic with such impossibly strange fish from the deep sea. You must go!
Hopefully I can. Itʻs a long way from Hawaii at the Azores.@@endorphinparametric4132
You will love it. Its amazing place.
I love this seaford series in Portugal! Sea Bass is one of my favorite fish. I love the soft fluffy flesh of this fish. I just wish I had my hand on that fish now. This has been a seafood lover's delight. Thank you!
Welcome to Portugal 🇵🇹 again!! Hope you go to my region Alentejo in southern Portugal… black pork meat / açorda / carne de porco à alentejana / migasand great wine and olive oil everywhere!
Viva Portugal! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Yup! Portugal is now on my list! Just, wow!
You will not regret it one bit
Happy Belated Birthday Mark! Have a fantastic day and thanks for sharing all your travels and the yummy food!
Thank you very much!

@MarkWiens I didn't know you just had a birthday.
Happy Birthday!🎂
HAPOT BIRTHDAY MARK WINS HAVE GOID DAY WHIT SE FOID❤❤
Hey Mark,
Just want to congratulate and thank you for your recent videos in Portugal!
So important to me, seeing someone I admire, making such genuine videos promoting our gastronomy!
Thank you again!
Next time, if you need help finding some of best places to eat, want to go to some not much explored regions or connecting with local producers, let me know!
Would love to help.
Jorge
mark this boy over here is,for me, the best portuguese food critic
I agree , this guy knows top places 👌
I use to take ferry from Tangier to Spain .and I go straight to elfaro to enjoy the magnificent cuisine in Portugal ❤❤❤❤
Wow Portugal is rocking it!!!
The huge Portuguese seafood looks delicious, the best👍
ya
Percebes are from the North West of the Iberian peninsula, Galicia, Spain and Portugal. In celebration times like Christmas and New Year they can go up by 100s% It's crazy!
Both Spain and Portugal are highly underrated for food. Their seafood is outstanding. Even their canned seafood is much higher quality than what you get in America.
America is no pattern in what food is concerned (among other things). What do you mean, even?
I am Portuguese and lived in Spain for a long time before coming back.
Although you are correct in both of them being underrated, I think they are very different cuisines.
My feeling is that on high end cuisine the Spaniards have us beat since the times of El Bulli. They consistently have multiple restaurants in the top 10 or 20 of the world because their expert chefs are REALLY good and they have some incredible ingredients.
But for day to day, traditional food the chance of you walking in a restaurant and feeling really happy with what you are eating is higher in Portugal, and my wife (who is russian) pointed out a good reason for it.
See I (and a huge percentage of Portuguese including men) can cook 95% of what I eat in a Portuguese restaurant, of course not to the same level of expertise, but quite approximately, so when I go out and ask for something that I know I can eat, I have a clear reference of what things are supposed to taste like or feel, and that puts some pressure on the cooks to be better at what they do.
I have travelled quite a bit and that experience of just walking in a random restaurant or tasca and always feeling welcomed and well served only happened to me in one other place, Italy..
Sorry for the long reply.
Iberian Península is The best place in the World!!🤞
@@AndreOliveira-lh8gr Conheces o mundo todo, há, valente?
Mark my wife is loving your show she is joining your network I have told her before how amazing your food show is but it's more it's more special because you are in her country Portugal. love your show.
Seafood is my absolute favorite! This was one of Mark's truly GREAT videos!
27:09 what a beautiful moment: you, Mark, followed your friend and closed your eyes to connect with what you're eating, almost like a meditation.
😳
@@GaryFalcon411I thought he was having a stroke!
@@tanya9112 That was close. My body did shutdown for a few seconds ha!
Really strange 😮.
@@GaryFalcon411was that before or after the guy said , The best thing , It doesn't have fish worms ?😮
I´m algarvian ( Algarve, south Portugal ) and sea food is some 90 % of my diet, therefore feel very lucky for living in this amazing place with such wonderful fish and shellfish. Like one more day in paradise, everyday😁
I went to Lisbon and ate at one of the places you ate on your last trip there. It was AMAZING. HOPE YOU ARE HAVING AN AMAZING DAY!!!
What an incredible episode! I’ve had the seafood in various parts of Portugal before and honestly, it is the best I’ve ever had. Thanks Mark!!
Mark just realized I’ve been watching your channel for ten years. Much love brother
You're a lucky guy. In Portugal, you'll be "spoiled" by savoury food
I've never had better seafood than in southern Portugal.
simple dishes. Quality fresh seefood from atlantic ocean. We love it. I am from Porto.
Greetings from Morocco ❤❤❤
Amazing Moroccan Serie
تبارك الله عليكم
OMG, the fish market is so pristine
The reactions between you and Ricardo was hilarious. That seafood tray was incredible. And just when I thought you were done, there was a main dish? Wow! I thought that huge platter of seafood was the main course.🤤
You had me at seafood! Everything looked so good, especially that seafood platter. Happy belated birthday to you, Mark. I'm loving this Portugal series of videos.
When Mark's this happy without his beloved chillies, the food must be very good ❤
I get giddy with excitement when I see Mark Wiens posting a new video, this one only 3 hours ago!!! :)
I’ll be in Porto next week, I’ll have to go check out Matosinhos for the seafood 🦞
Good night from Papua New Guinea, nice contents I enjoy it
d u like oporto?
Papua new guinea you have best cuisine in the world, your human meat is the best!
That seafood platter looked so delicious Portugal looks amazing
Man so glad you came. Porto is my city... love living here... thank you for showing our food to the world!
Looks absolutely delicious and pure!!!!
It brings a smile to my face seeing you enjoying it as much as you did, with that being said... It's now 01:00 am and I'm craving seafood 😅 could do with a platter like that for sure!! Bem vindo a Portugal!
Love it Mark! Amazing, authentic, aspirational all ticked. That’s why you’re the best at what you do. Portugal is indeed a seafood paradise.
"simple but perfect".... it says it all
Mark is the Man!
Eu nasci em Matosinhos e com muito orgulho digo que toda a produção e mesmo o Mark só conheceu um pouquinho da gastronomia da minha cidade, mas contudo adorei... Obrigada por vires conhecer a minha cidade...
Nice to see you redoing portugal
Happy Birthday Mark! Hope you and your family are celebrating somewhere wonderful and I pray God blesses you with many more years and continued success.
Mr Mark we never get a chance to explore the world n taste variety of its food but through you we get to see so many things n food
Thank u so much stay blessed
I love seafood. This looks so delicious. You are very lucky to get to eat it.
You should go to Spain about 200km up North from Porto on the Spanish Portugese border in the city of Vigo.There you will find best seafood and shellfish!Galician cuisine🙏🏼
Da ria! Excelente
@@v13w5 exacto da Ría
Marrkkkkkkkkkkk you listened and went to portugal. Your a LEGEND.. don't forget to go to aveiro portugal. And have eels and portuguese bbq chicken at the local migrant markets

Amazing best of the fresh grilled fish the world has to offer honestly. Thanks again for all your consistent hard work and anticipating on your next display.

As a seafood lover watching this video makes me want to move to Portugal. 🥰🤩😍
Thank you for sharing Mark. Stay safe and well..🙏
Happy Birthday Mark!!!! We are blessed to be on the receiving end of your birthday…. As always, great food, people and entertainment ❤
Barnacles are my favourite seafood of all. I love it since I was a child...
That lobster looked delicious!❤❤
Don’t forget to try out the Lamprey rice, a traditional dish from the Minho region. It’s seasonal, therefore only available from January up until April.
I'm definitely not a fair eater. I mean, I can't even come close to Mark, in terms of the quantity of food I could intake in a day. I would be a sort of fingerfood eater. But this seafood of Porto made my mouth water. It was indeed a huge plater display of seafood. It was as if I got dive into a seafood bed.
Maaaark like the vibe and liked to learn about fish from Portugal looks good I almost want to eat my phone it looks so good way to go mark another masterpiece keep up the good work
Seafooda lovers,wishing visits purtugal👌👍
Happy birthday Mark,hope you have a wonderful day and keep the videos coming,I am really enjoying all the good tasty food you are sharing!❤
Wow so much seafoods, that's yummy 😋 Market very clean and huge👍 Enjoy Sir Mark🥰
you like seafoods com to filipinss men😘😍😍😍
Gooseneck Barnacles are amazing. Easy to get here in Oregon, but we have a dumb limit of 10 per person on them. I kinda get it, but makes it hard to do a meal unless you get lots of people to forage them.
Taste like crab to me, look like alien something you don't want to eat.
Man I would love to live near a market like that one
Happy belated Birthday, Marky Mark! May you have many more
Happy Belated Birthday Mark thanks for 4 sharing ur lovely vids
🍷
Gooseneck barnacles are called percebes in Spain. People risk their lives at low tide to try and harvest them since they only reside on large rock outcroppings. I had them for the first time in Paris as part of a seafood tower. I have great respect for the harvesters of them since it's a risky diving endeavor, not unlike diving for abalone in Korea, which are done by very revered ladies who free dive without air tanks due to laws about harvesting abalone.
In Portugal are also called Percebes^^ and yes its a risky job to harvest them^^ Respect
This video is amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!"
I’m very happy that you visited my city and my country. I follow you for years and im very glad that you took your time to visited us 💪 Thank you
Great wine choice to pair that amazing seafood
Turbot and Sea Bass are two of the greatest fish to eat that swim in our oceans!
So close to my hometown!
Very proud of it and so happy that you are bringing it here for a lot of people to see how special it is, thank you so much Mark!
That was wonderful to watch
that market looks amazing
Great video again Mark. Been fortunate enough to have lived in Portugal for 6 years and even till this day, I come to Matoshinhos every year at the end of our holiday, to eat grilled sardines and Lulas grelhados. We grill a dourada on charcoal almost every second weekend, so I am very used to the wonderful taste of grilled fish, but the way the sardines taste in Portugal is just mesmerising so I don't make those at home, and enjoy them only when I'm back in Portugal. And it is always worth the wait.
But people, apart from the plates that Mark ate, which all had hefty price tags, the most wonderful thing about Portugal in general is, that you can go into almost any restaurant and have a fresh fish option every day. Beit a balcalhau dish, a grilled fish dish or something else (filetes de pescado, for example). And that is eating for €10-15. Amazing!
The one thing I must say about Tito 2, is that it is the only restaurant I have ever eaten sardines and they didn't come with a salad as standard. Sardines, boiled potatoes, and a salad with roasted green or red paprikas, that is the true tradition. Why Tito 2 doesn't serve salad with their sardines, is beyond me.
We will always support you, Mark. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Loving your production value bump.
Watching this while eating frozen pizza, amazing
im eating frozen pizza for dinner 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you 🙏 food looks delicious
Nice to see you in Portugal ❤
mark wiens love walking to look around restaurent food
Has anyone ever seen Mark dislike something? 😂 It's cute, but let's face it. no matter what he ever tried, it was always the same facial expression and the same fierce reaction😅
Thank you for this video, Mark. I hope that you had an exciting birthday celebration!!!
Mark, you do thee best at absolute describing the food you taste is like heaven it makes my mouth water.
