Tricana

One of three house brands produced under the Conserveira de Lisboa umbrella, a sardine shop at Rua dos Bacalhoeiros in Lisbon’s Alfama district, operating since 1942.

Sardines are sourced from Matosinhos, hand-cleaned and hand-packed as single-piece fillets. The standard is strict: one unbroken loin per piece, no offcuts. Available at A Vida Portuguesa in Portugal and through Portugalia Marketplace and Amazon in the US.

If you’re in Lisbon, the shop is at Rua dos Bacalhoeiros 34.
