the top spot for fresh and high quality seafood in rio's sister city niterói is jurujuba. the neighborhood is known for the colony of fishermen who supply fresh fish to the local restaurants daily - restaurante berbigão is particularly highly regarded. located close to the northern tip of the jurujuba peninsula, it specializes in all things seafood. the menu includes international favourites such as lobsters, paella and fried shrimp, as well as brazilian specialties like moqueca and caldeirada.

the other location that seafood lovers will be delighted to explore is the long stretch of the west zone of rio, that runs along the atlantic coast past barra da tijuca, all the way to santa cruz. one of the most western neighborhood is sepetiba, and the seafood found along the beach in this neighborhood are unmatched by any other location in rio.
