In recent days, the EU has recommended that member states develop a 72-hour survival kit for citizens to deal with any new crisis that may arise.
The guidelines indicate that this kit should include several essential products, including tinned food, which is practical and has a long shelf life.
Portugal has a long tradition of producing canned fish. This industry dates back to 1853 and today plays an important role in the country's history and culture.
Although they were initially created to feed armies, tinned fish have long since ceased to be just emergency food or traditional camp food. Today they are part of the diet of many Portuguese families.
Today it is a sector that employs thousands of people in our country and that is making a huge commitment to modernising and winning over a more demanding public.
This constant search for innovation has resulted in some surprising and unique preserves, so versatile that they are almost a complete meal.
With pickles, chickpeas, beans and even seaweed... Shall we get to know some?
