Sol-Mar restaurant announces “Taste the Sea” Seafood Festival in the Ironbound from March 24-26

Sol-Mar Restaurant is inviting customers to embark on a gastronomic journey to Portugal. The Sol-Mar Seafood Festival is the perfect opportunity for people to experience the best Portuguese seafood dishes.

From March 24-26, the restaurant is proud to bring some of the best seafood dishes to one place, a culinary experience people will not forget.

The Sol-Mar Seafood Festival is a celebration of the recognition of the best seafood restaurant in New Jersey. And this is an exciting event that will bring together local delicacies like Goose Barnacles “Percebes”, Stone Crabs “Sapateiras”, and Tiger Prawns to more exotic catches like Sea Bass and Grouper.

Portugal is known for its unique national dish  Salted Cod “Bacalhau”, and it has been a staple of Portuguese cuisine for centuries. Diners will be able to taste the menu classics like “Bacalhau à Brás”, made from shreds of salted cod, onions, and thinly chopped fried potatoes, all bound with scrambled eggs; or “Bacalhau com Natas” – baked in the oven layered with onions, diced fried potatoes and double cream.

At the festival, visitors will enjoy a range of more exotic offerings such as velvet crabs “navalhei-ras”, cockles “berbigão”, spider crabs “lapas”, jumbo shrimp, prawns, clams and the tasteful Portuguese octopus. Al-so, sardines, horse mackerel, grouper, sea bass, black sword fish, and halibut, among others. Each dish will be prepared with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection for an unforgettable culinary experience.

When it comes to seafood and fish, Portuguese wines are a perfect match. Vinho Verde and Alvarinho are two of the most popular Portuguese wines that pair well with seafood and fish dishes. With light flavors, they have a fresh, crisp taste. Their bright acidity and light aroma will make the seafood festival stand out.

This festival will provide a unique opportunity for food lovers to sample the best seafood dishes that Portugal has to offer. Not only will they be able to savor the flavors of each region but also learn about their distinct culinary traditions. 

The Sol-Mar Seafood Festival will be a great way to explore Portu-guese cuisine! 

Come join Sol-Mar and experience the true taste of Portugal!
