Galician octopus tasted at the Palma market

Il polpo alla gallega gustato al mercato di tenerife

Galician octopus tasted at the market in Tenerife.
One of my favorite dishes in Spain is definitely Galician octopus (which is on my personal podium with jamon and croquetas).
Some time ago (a long time ago now) I was at the market in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and among the many excellent dishes we tasted we also took this tentacle.
It was really very good.
If you want the recipe I have already written it in this post.

Have you ever tasted octopus prepared like this?

Octopus is a very popular mollusc in professional and sport fishing. Fishing techniques are traditional and consist of using a bait called pulcina, which is sometimes used together with crabs and fish. Sometimes fresh octopus is prepared using the curling technique directly on the rocks or in special machines that allow it to be tasted raw. The curled octopus has tentacles in the shape of “curls”, dilated suckers and a characteristic “crunchy” consistency.

Some time ago I went to the market of Our Lady of Africa in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and enjoyed this excellent dish of clams.

The tower of the facade of the market of Tenerife

La torre della facciata del mercato di Tenerife

The tower of the facade of the market of Tenerife.
For the first time since I have been sailing, last year I went to the market of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
As in almost all Spanish markets, in addition to being able to buy local products, you can also eat.
With some colleagues we then took a seat in one of the many fishmongers that cook fresh fish and seafood for you that you choose directly from the counter.
Exceptional!

Pesci sul banco al mercato di Palma

Pesci sul banco al mercato di Palma.
Queste sono le ultime foto che ho scattato, diverso tempo fa ormai, al mercato (mercado) di Palma di Maiorca.
Pesci, che sembrano freschi, di tutti i tipi e, nella seconda foto, gamberi e scampi.
Ce n’è per tutti i gusti!

Palmito, or heart of palm, tasted in Montevideo

Palmito, o cuore di palma, gustato a Montevideo

Palmito, or heart of palm, tasted in Montevideo.
It's been a long time since I took this photo and I just hadn't managed to publish it yet.
This is a South American food, the heart of a certain type of palm that is cut into pieces and preserved in oil or vinegar.
I've eaten it several times in Brazil even though the photo was taken at the Mercado in Montevideo.

Mercato dell’Olivar a Palma di Maiorca

Mercato dell’Olivar a Palma di Maiorca.
Da diverso tempo ormai ho queste fotografie scattate in uno dei mercati piu’ belli dell’isola di Palma.
Me le ero tenute per inserirle poco alla volta ma ho deciso di pubblicarle tutte in una volta perche’ iniziano a diventare troppo vecchie.
Prosciutti, spezie, pesce, carne, sushi, olive… e chi piu’ ne ha piu’ ne metta. C’era proprio di tutto in queto bel posto.

Uruguayan Grilled Meat in Montevideo

Uruguayan grilled meat in Montevideo.
Another beautiful photo of a nice piece of grilled meat enjoyed, some time ago, in Montevideo.
At the famous Mercado del Puerto, a structure not far from where the cruise ships dock.
It must have been five hundred grams of meat… my mouth is watering again just looking at the photo.

The grill was used for the first time by the Achaeans in Ancient Greece, around the 9th century BC, but some finds were found in the kingdom of Egypt. From the Achaeans onwards, the grill found a rapid expansion and development, transforming itself to make cooking food faster and more effective. Its first appearance in Italy is documented around the 10th century at Arminum (today's Rimini).

Mercado del Puerto a Montevideo

Mercado del Puerto a Montevideo.
Tappa obbligata quando con la nave sei nella capitale uruguaiana e’ questo mercato coperto.
A dire la verita’ ormai non e’ piu’ un vero mercato ma si e’ trasformato in un luogo pieno di ristoranti dove fanno la carne asada (alla griglia o parilla).
A me, che piace tantissimo la carne, sembra di entrare in paradiso… Questa era la seconda volta che ci sono andato in vita mia.
I prezzi sono giusti e la qualita’ molto alta!
E si trova proprio a duecento metri dal porto, cosa volere di piu’?

Grilled Uruguayan Filet in Montevideo

Grilled Uruguayan fillet steak in Montevideo.
A few weeks ago, I was on the Costa Fascinosa with cruises that left from Brazil and, every now and then, arrived in Montevideo, Uruguay.
In the capital, really close to the port, there is the Mercado: a former covered market that today hosts about ten grilled meat restaurants.
This is very close to what I consider paradise!
I had already been there a few years ago and I couldn't miss it.
As you can see from the photo, this was my lunch: a nice grilled fillet steak with chips.
In the next few days, and months, I will post more photos of other dishes ordered by my colleagues; all absolutely delicious and reasonably priced!
