I wish we had more time in Chile to eat…Chileans love seafood. It’s no wonder as the country is basically all coastline. Mussels, crab and fish are on most menus. Congrio, a white fish similar to kingclip (or cod), is national favorite prepared a number of different ways. The stew version is delicious–onions, tomatoes, potatoes. The other ingredient that is commonly found in Chilean cuisine is algae or seaweed. This is mostly used in soups and salads. When I first saw these dried bundles of algae at the market, I thought it was raw hide.
