Peniche Can Fish Sardines in Spicy Olive Oil.
I got these from an exchange recently and I was very lucky to get a variety of fish directly from Portugal. I kinda forgot that these had more than just sardines and peppers, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a piri piri pepper, a pickle, a preserved lemon, and a bay leaf inside. The bay leaf got kind of broken up, but the rest were intact (although a bit mushy).
This was a delicious tin. I may have eaten half a sardine and a nibble of lemon before I remembered to take a picture of the contents on the plate. These were very easy to flake apart, while still being a nice, meaty sardine. The other things in the tin were subtly present in the fish itself, but amplified when I took a bite of both. A good underlying spice throughout that built up by the end, but still on the lower end of heat in my opinion.
I just ate them plain, but I could definitely see putting this on a piece of toasted sourdough or slices of baguette. There's a good amount of flavor, so it doesn't really need anything else. Unfortunately I don't think I can really find these near me, but I'm very glad I got to give them a try.
