As a food blogger of Portuguese origin living in the US, I am always on the lookout for ways to recreate the delicious flavors of my homeland in my own kitchen. One dish that holds a special place in my heart is choco frito à moda de Setúbal – a traditional dish of fried cuttlefish from the coastal city of Setúbal.
Growing up, I have fond memories of visiting Setúbal with my family and enjoying plates of freshly caught and cooked choco frito at one of the many seafood restaurants in the city.
The tender and flavorful cuttlefish, coated in a light and crispy batter and served with a squeeze of lemon, was always a highlight of our trips.
But it wasn’t just in Setúbal that I enjoyed choco frito. My mother would often make it at home for us, using her own special recipe that had been passed down through generations of our family.
I remember watching her in the kitchen as she expertly prepared the cuttlefish and mixed together the ingredients for the batter. The smell of frying choco would fill the house and make our mouths water in anticipation.
Now, living thousands of miles away from Portugal, I often find myself craving the taste of choco frito à moda de Setúbal. So, I decided to try my hand at making it at home and sharing the recipe with all of you.
In this blog post, I will show you how to make choco frito à moda de Setúbal in your own kitchen. This recipe is simple and easy to follow, and the result is a delicious and satisfying dish that will transport you to the sunny shores of Portugal.
So, let’s get started and bring a taste of Setúbal to your table!
