Description

Codfish with onions, olive oil and salt. Just three ingredients that make this a delicious option.

Renowned for its quality, Tricana, the brand of “Conserveira de Lisboa” already knew 80 years ago how to select the best and most fresh fish, adding in to some recipes delicate condiments thus resulting in a perfect end of flavours.
Since then, the production is limited due to concerns of the best fish selection with the highest quality yet there is a great variety of recipes in their canned fish.

The geographic localization and high quality brought fame and credibility to Conserveira de Lisboa. The visitors are mostly tourists who contributed to the need and fair projection out borders.
