During the month of April, Brazilians and Portuguese communities around the world observe a deeply rooted religious tradition known as Holy Week, or Semana Santa. This sacred time, leading up to Easter Sunday, is marked by reflection, prayer, and specific practices, one of the most important being the avoidance of meat. As a form of penance and spiritual preparation, many families choose to abstain from eating red meat during the week, particularly on Good Friday. Instead, fish and seafood become the centerpieces of meals throughout this holy period.
At Seabra’s Market, we understand how important it is to honor the customs and traditions passed down from generation to generation. That’s why we are proud to offer a wide selection of high-quality fish and seafood, perfect for celebrating Holy Week while staying connected to the cultural heritage of Brazil and Portugal. Whether you’re preparing a simple family meal or a traditional feast, our Seafood Section is fully stocked with everything you need.
One of the most iconic dishes during Holy Week is bacalhau, or salted cod fish, which holds a special place in both Brazilian and Portuguese cuisine. It’s common to see families gather to enjoy hearty dishes like bacalhau à Brás, bacalhau com natas, or even grilled cod with potatoes and olives. At Seabra’s, we carry premium cuts of salted cod and fresh fish that are ideal for creating these classic recipes at home.
