The Portuguese canning industry was born in 1853, and today it plays an important role in the country's history and culture.
Created to feed armies, canned fish has long since ceased to be just pantry emergency food or traditional camp food. Today they are part of the diet of many Portuguese families, with the advantage of being easy to transport, nutritious and of long shelf life.
It is currently a sector that employs thousands of people in our country, and which has made a huge commitment to modernize and conquer a more demanding public, even becoming a characteristic Portuguese specialty.
If you are part of the huge group of people who want to try Portuguese canned fish, but don't really know how to use them in the kitchen, here are several light suggestions that are delicious and great for getting back into your routine after the heaviest food of the holidays.
For tuna lovers, we suggest tuna bruschetta with avocado and tomato, an always delicious tuna pizza or tuna pasta with cherry tomato.
