Join us for a delicious dive into one of Portugal’s most charming culinary traditions: tinned seafood. These beautiful little tins packed with sardines, octopus, mackerel and more are so much more than pantry staples; they’re a flavourful slice of Portuguese culture, preserved in olive oil and beautiful packaging. Chef and travel writer Carole Nelson Brown will be your guide through an informative and mouthwatering tour exploring the history and heritage of Portuguese canning — a story full of tradition, artistry, and salty ingenuity. You’ll learn first-hand what makes Portuguese tinned fish so special (spoiler: it involves hand-packing, olive oil, and a bit of national pride).
