There is a little village called "Massagueira" where you can have very fresh and tasty seafoods! And besides it is a very calm and beautiful place where there are not too much tourists!
It is 15 kms outside of Maceio, but really worth a visit, 'cause it is one of the cheapest and fresh see foods you can get in Brazil!
Have a look at this page:

If you are with a rented car take the south route AL-101 Sul, pass the Iland of Santa Rita, after the second bridge with entries at right and left side.
If you want to take a van there, enter at the corner of TIM building at Av. Duque de Caxias- Centre of Maceio.
Favorite Dish: Have a look at the wonderful exotical names of the dishes :-)

A very good restaurant, but with reasonable prices. The atmosphere was very nice (medieval stylish), excellent waiters and excellent food. My best restaurant-experience in Brazil ever.
Favorite Dish: Well I've only been there once, but we were 6 people and everybody loved their dish, so I guess you can just pick the dish that you fancy the most.
