It’s a traditional moqueca that has the cashew butter added. You can make this as varied as there are fish in the sea and many restaurants in Brazil make theirs with cuttlefish, many species of crab/crays/langoustes etc.?I can’t guarantee that half naked girls and gangsters will show up, but who knows?
