Peixinhos da horta (Portuguese pronunciation: [pɐjˈʃĩɲuʒ] or [pejˈʃĩɲuʒ ðɐ ˈɔɾtɐ]) is a traditional dish in Portuguese cuisine. The name of the dish is literally translated as little garden fish as it resembles small pieces of colorful fish. It was introduced to Japan by Jesuit missionaries in the sixteenth century where it was eventually developed into tempura.
