Only Fish Market Tasting Tour from Sea to Table

Unlike many food tours that claim to showcase the city’s most authentic dishes without truly knowing their origins, this experience takes you deep into the real culinary heart of Porto. You’ll step back in time with a visit to a 1920’s canned fish factory, meet local fishermen, and gain insight into where most of Porto’s fish and seafood come from. The journey continues with a visit to the bustling Fish Market, where you’ll handpick fresh fish and seafood before taking them to a local restaurant to be expertly cooked. This immersive “sea to table” experience allows you to see, taste, and understand the entire process, connecting you to the traditions that shape Porto’s coastal cuisine. Fish market of Matosinhos.
