Production, Maturation and Commercialisation

The mackerel is hand-selected at the harbour and prepared following the artisanal method inherited from the first cannery founded in 1896 by Joaquim Ferreira Pedro Luças. It is cooked in traditional mustard sauce and packed in a 120 g tin, without adding additives or preservatives. Its format ensures optimal preservation and authentic flavour.

History and Origin

Matosinhos has a strong historical connection with the sea. Although it was an agricultural land for centuries, its ties to fishing, Atlantic trade, and the Camino de Santiago boosted its development. In 1896 the first fish cannery was founded there, giving rise to a production that surpassed 100,000 boxes annually using artisanal methods and earning the trust of prestigious clients such as the Clube Naval Setubalense.
