Gastronomy in Faro during your golf holidays

The Ria Formosa's shellfish beds are the source of a few gastronomic delicacies. Caldeirada is a hearty Portuguese fish and seafood stew made using whitefish such as cod, hake, or flounder, oily fish such as tuna and squid, and locally produced shellfish like clams and mussels. These farms also provide us with arroz de lingueirão, a rice dish with razor clams that is simmered. Oysters are always best served raw, with just a wedge of lemon and a glass of white wine.
