Lobster Cataplana in Lagos, Portugal

Lobster Cataplana

Another great dish in the Algarve was the Lobster Cataplana at Cantinho Algarvio.  Using fresh European Lobster (Homarus gammarus) from the live tank this dish is cooked in a traditionl Portuguese style with tomatoes in a round copper dish (cataplana).  A subtle blend of herbs and onions complement the delicate flavour of the lobster and at £40 for 2 people it represents great value.  Restaurant owner Carlos and his staff are really attentive and provide very high quality fish and shellfish.
