Codfish is a typical dish at the fortnightly fairs of Ponte de Lima and is still served in the taverns and restaurants of the village. In this qualitative leap from the fair to the restaurant menus, this typical dish of Ponte de Lima thus affirms its antiquity.

In the restaurants it presents itself as a dish of excellence, well accompanied by excellent, caramelised onion and soaked up with a magnificent laurel wine of Ponte de Lima.
