Caldeirada de Raia
Caldeirada de raia is a traditional Portuguese fish stew made with skate or ray fish. It’s a delicious and hearty dish that combines the flavors of the sea with various vegetables and seasonings. The fish is usually cooked with onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, potatoes, and sometimes wine or herbs, depending on the recipe. The result is a flavorful and rich stew that is often served with crusty bread.
