Introduce the dish and its origins.

Prepare the fish by removing bones using a tool called a spather.

Peel and cut potatoes into quarters, about a quarter of an inch thick.

Cut onions into rings, about a quarter of an inch or half a centimeter thick.

Cut green pepper and slice garlic.

Prepare garden tomatoes, noting their appearance.

Start layering the cataplana like a lasagna: begin with onions, then add green pepper, potatoes, garlic, and tomatoes.

Add the prepared fish fillets, ensuring to season them with salt.

Layer clams on top of the fish and add bay leaves for flavor.

Pour in port wine and green wine (vinho verde) for acidity and flavor.

Add water to the mixture, splashing it over the ingredients.

Chop parsley finely, including the stems, and add it to the dish.

Turn on maximum heat and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, checking for juiciness and doneness.

Serve with lime juice over the top and alongside toasted bread.
