The cuisine of Cape Verde is a West African cuisine largely influenced by Portuguese, Southern and Western European and West African cuisine. Cape Verde was a colony of Portugal from its colonization until 1975.[1]

Because the archipelago is inside the Atlantic Ocean, fish is very important in Cape Verdean cooking.
