X is for Xouba

What is xouba? A small, sardine-like fish found near Spain. I figured there must be a food out there that starts with "x". This works fine for me.

Fish Covered in Salt

Okay, I'm not fluent in Portuguese nor like fish much, but I just had to draw this image. I loved the lemon and lime slices delicately placed over these shiny water dwellers...and the name intrigued me: Cubra o namorado com sal grosso e fogo nele (it's "Fish Covered in Salt")!
