The best fish I ever had was a restaurant in Cascais near Lisbon. They only did fish, and if you went in on a day where the weather had been too bad for the small local boats they looked at you as if you were mad! I ate there every time I was in Portugal until one time it had gone, demolished to make way for the ubiquitous shopping centre (mall).
