Yesterday, after our language class, we went to a new restaurant, for us. It specializes in bacalhao. Of course, at the time, we didn't know that, but when the first 3 pages of the menu all contained the word bacalhao, it became evident. There was, however a dish with beans, which I have been missing... A Feijoada de Samos de Bacalhau. Of course, the server explained what the "Samos" was, but I thought it was the flesh on the ridge of the fish, kind of like a pork loin.
When the dish came, we realized that we should have looked up the dish on Google translate. Turns out the the Samos, are the swim bladders of the cod fish. These tubes run down the back of the fish. The texture was not to my liking, but the taste was good. I would not order it again, but to every man his own taste.
So, if you have a hankering for fish bladder, remember "A Feijoada de Samos de Bacalhau"
