Peixada do Amor
A budget stewed-fish eatery run by a fishing family near Ponta do Seixas, where coconut-stewed fish and fried fish are weekend gathering spots for locals.
Owner "Amor" comes from a fishing family. The business started as a kiosk on Seixas Beach and later moved to its current location near Ponta do Seixas, the easternmost point of mainland Brazil. The specialty is stewed fish made with sierra fish fillet, served in coconut sauce or fried, plus stewed shrimp. The setting is simple and prices are low. On weekends it is very crowded, with guests waiting standing up and slow service. Open only at lunchtime; average spend is about R$50–80 per person.
