Portuguese sardines at a price that can’t be beat. “Tasty, clean, refreshing.” is how the customer who recommended this to us described them. After we tried, we agreed. You don’t need to eat these with pasta, but you can.  They’re also great on pizza.

Hand caught and hand packed in the Portuguese tradition. Simple, classic, and in this case, smaller fish, if that’s your thing. Also sometimes called petingas, sardinillas, or sardinettes, depending on what kind of wine you’re drinking.

Perfect as a salad topper or as the protein in a wrap. Toss them in with some hash browns. Literally hundreds of uses. It’s a protein!

We’re big fans of all of the herbal flavors, and find that oregano is among our favorites. Adds just that note of grassiness that sometimes seems lacking.

Great straight from the tin, but really shines when served with rice.

120g (4.2 oz) tin

An unusual tin, in that it has the pickled carrot and pickled cucumber of traditional “spiced” products, but doesn’t have the bay or clove, making it fall under the category of “spicy” here…but spicy with pickled vegetables.

After creating the serving suggestions for the photos of the tins throughout the site, Helen put together a wicked good ‘zine that’ll give you boatloads of ideas and empower you to come up with your own riffs. 30 page stapled ‘zine

Who doesn’t like a little red pepper flake with their red sauce? We sure do.

Very lightly smoked, to add just the hint of umami + that sardine salad sandwich needed to put it over the yummy edge.
