Citorah says

Walk ten minutes from the Setúbal station to Avenida Luísa Todi — the seafront boulevard — and queue at Casa Santiago (officially "O Rei do Choco Frito", the King of Fried Cuttlefish, and yes it's the right place) by 12:30. Some listings say it's closed on Sundays, so check before a Sunday trip.

    Setúbal

    Citorah says Setúbal is the day trip Lisbon residents take when they want a real meal. It's a working port forty kilometres south of the city, the choco frito (fried cuttlefish) capital of Portugal, and the gateway to the Sado estuary's resident pod of bottlenose dolphins. Nothing about it looks like a film set.

    Adega Leo do Petisco

    Citorah says The alternative is Adega Leo do Petisco — a tasca where everyone orders the same dish, €15-22 a head — if Casa Santiago's queue is past forty minutes.
