We have a trip planned to Portugal in a couple months so I have decided to eat through my stash of Portuguese tins!
Jose Gourmet Spiced Small Sardines- Jose Gourmet can do no wrong in my opinion and these were no exception! A little bit salty this time which I don't recall noticing before.
Lucas Petiningas – My favorite tin of the 3 although a bit on the large side for "small" sardines. Somehow a perfect balance on the fish and oil flavor, really fresh and reminded me of the liquor off a fresh shucked oyster!
Pinhais in Escabeche – Chonky mid size fish, quite a few scales. The Escabeche was more a bland tomato puree sauce than a vinegar sauce like I expected. Fish were good, I drizzled the sauce on my toast concoction and it was fine like that.

What’s the sauce you’re using in the second picture?
Sardinha in Escabeche, rather than Pinhais. I’ve given up on Sardinha because of lazy scaling practices.
