Tinned fish shops abound. Frankly, most of these are for sucker tourists. More on that later. Leighton, bravo on another awesome trip and the usual superb pics! I am curious about the tin fish. Friend Sam, Tinned fish is sold everywhere in Lisbon in huge varieties. Sardines, anchovies, tuna, mackerel, squid, octopus, oysters, clams, mussels, squid and many other flavors of sea goodies are tinned in everything from good oils and herbs and spices with many types in vinegar and mustards to many kinds of tomato based sauces. Smoked, cured, you name it, they likely have it in tins. I love it all. BUT, beware the stores in touristy areas dedicated to the sales of same. Most are wildly and ridiculously overpriced. One shop we went into had all kinds of stuff but offered at as much as 15 Euro for a single 3 oz tin. Well, yeah, no sale mayn. Thing to do is get yourself to a proper supermercado that really caters to locals, and locals only. The very same products that are for sale at 18 bucks a pop in the sucker, er, specialty stores can be had from about 99 cents to 2 bucks and change each in said supermarkets. We happily stocked up to the tune of around 25 pounds of canned goodness. That was fun hauling back to the hotel with about 3 miles of hills tossed in for fun. . I have a bunch to gift to friends and family here but I'd say I have a solid year's worth of Portuguese marine happy snacks put up for myself now. Shoot me a PM and an addy and I'll send you a few tins, if you like.

Leighton, first of all thanks for the explanation. I had a hunch you were referencing over-priced tourists shops but had to ask as I enjoy the occasional tin o' fish. Secondly thank you for the very generous offer but I will politely decline as your post prompted me to make another order last night..... Blame it on the beer munchies and your great pics......lol Not to hijack but I'm sure you've heard of this hippie outfit. Rancho Loco told me about them last fall and I've been 'exploring' a few times since. I know they are probably over-priced but I get a kick out of trying new things. That and if you like to read their local news they expertly pack each order with pages of the local newspaper. https://rainbowtomatoesgarden.com/product-category/conservas/Now back to your thread. Please let us know what is the best of your tinned fish haul, I look forward to hearing what is good! (Minerva sardines are my favorite of the few I've tried)

Congratulations to you and your lady. Great pictures and as usual I gained weight just looking at some of them!
