This recipe is very popular in Portugal as Punheta de Bacalhau, even though nowadays it’s known as Espinheta or Carpaccio de Bacalhau.
The origin of this recipe goes back to medieval times. In that time, the travelers did not have large food options, so the only option was dry fish to eat.
With garlic, onion and other ingredients, the travelers mixed them and made this delicious and easy to-do recipe.
