sardine

Fresh and fatty sardine? Of course! If you enjoy the smaller ones, they come from Quarteira, Olhão or Portimão. If you prefer the big sardines, we get them from Sines, Sesimbra, Peniche and Matosinhos. Between July and October, the fat and quality of the sardine is guaranteed, but its fishery is not. This is a species subjected to protection measures, to maintain its biological stocks. The biologic defence period prohibits its fishery during many months and the fishing quota management determines specific days for fishing during the capture months.
