Conserveira de Lisboa Eels in Escabeche

Conserveira de Lisboa Eels in Escabeche is a tin of eels in escabeche, a vinegar and olive oil marinade, from Conserveira de Lisboa. A traditional tin for curious food lovers.

Flavour and texture

Eels have a firm, rich and slightly sweet flesh. Escabeche, a marinade of olive oil, vinegar and aromatics, gives them a tangy, appetising taste. Enguias de escabeche are a traditional speciality of the Aveiro region.

Food pairing

Serve at room temperature on bread, with boiled potatoes, or with a fresh salad. A crisp Bairrada sparkling wine or a fresh white wine cuts through the richness.
