We're not as impressed with Italian food as many people seem to be (seriously, pizza and pasta are mostly ... dough?), but there are some things they do really well. Things like olives, tomatoes and air-dried ham taste amazing here, and all these goodies are suitable for eating as 'antipasti'.

Yesterday we saw a whole bunch of people picking vongole mussels (or whatever these mussels are called?) here in Sardinia, and then we also got the urge to try it! On the small headland where we are standing (Punta S'Aliga, south of Portovesme) there is an outer beach, which is nice to swim in, and an inner beach, with stagnant shallow water filled with seaweed - this is apparently where the mussels thrive.

Right now we are hanging out in the motorhome and having a good time. We've been doing two training sessions a day for a few days, so today was a rest! It's raining outside, so we have spent time cleaning, even more travel planning and reading. And of course, you have to cook good food!

Yesterday we went shopping in Agde. It is really fun to go to French supermarkets, which are packed with delicacies and different products than what we are used to in Sweden. However, it is quite expensive, at least compared to Spain and Portugal. Join us for a little tour of the huge Hyper U supermarket!

We got some really nice and cheap tuna fillets in Spain (2 euros per portion), which have been in the freezer for a few days. Yesterday we had tuna for dinner. Peter marinated the fillets and fried them briefly on each side. We served them with jacket potatoes and apple guacamole. Really good!

We're not experts, but we love fish and have tried our hand at it. Here are our top tips. Feel free to share yours!

We are not that impressed with the food in Spain, not in general anyway. Of course, we understand that you can find great food here, especially if you visit someone's grandmother or know which restaurant to go to. But the fact remains: as a confused tourist, you're likely to end up at a boring joint that serves French fries with... something fried.

We've tried cooking boquerones, anchovies or sardines the Spanish way. As you may know, we love seafood, and now that we're travelling around southern Europe, we're taking the opportunity to try new fish and new recipes.

Our favourite fish to grill is called dourada here in Portugal. In Sweden, it is usually sold as seabream or goldsparid. It has a firm white and very tasty flesh! We usually grill it, stuffed with thyme and lemon or lime, and serve it with rice and a good cold sauce.
