This is another can produced through the relationship between Briosa Conservas and Conservas Portugal Norte. This is one of the “special edition” tins in their smoked lineup that also includes Sardine, Tuna, Mackerel, and Salmon.
Opening the tin, you are greeted by two fillets with the skin on and facing up. There is a very light smokey aroma upon opening. The fish are tender but very close to bordering on meaty. The smoke flavor is gentle but builds slightly as you eat more. I found the extra virgin olive oil to be thick and slightly overpowering which was a contrast to the mild fish. All and all this is a very luxurious yet light piece of fish.
Thanks to u/danatrainbowtomatoes for making this tin readily available.

How would you compare this to Cole’s Smoked Trout?

I have been looking for the special edition smoked varieties, I have only seen them on this sub.
