Moqueca?

OK, I don't know much about Brazilian food but I saw Tony Bourdain eating this on his show a few days ago and I thought it looked absolutely delicious. For people "in the know", where can I get a good, authentic version? Spiciness is no obstacle.

mmmmmmm moqueca. I recommend going to Queens or Newark. I went to Delicia years ago. Liked it alright. Not too memorable. Didn't like Circus. Went to Casa recently and found it REALLY overpriced for the quality of the food.

The moqueca at Casa is pretty tasty!

I like the food at Via Brasil at 46th st. very much, the food is very similar to what you would get in Brazil. They do have moqueca but I have never had there, but I have dined there many times and have always liked their food.
I had the moqueca at Circus long time ago, before they moved to the new location and it was good. I haven't been there in years, though.
Delicia in the West Village has a good moqueca, but the service is VERY slow, if you don't mind a very slow paced dinner it is a good option.
By the way, the moqueca will not be spicy, most Brazilian food is not spicy. Although moqueca does come from a region that serves spicy food (Bahia, in the northeast), they will serve the pepper (called malagueta) at the side - as we do in Brazil - and you would add as you wish.
