Conserveira de Lisboa Small Mackerel with Dates 120 g

Conserveira de Lisboa Small Mackerel with Dates 120 g is a 120 g tin of small mackerel, or cavalinha, with dates, from Conserveira de Lisboa. An unusual sweet and savoury tin to surprise your guests.

Flavour and texture

Rich, tender small mackerel with dates. The soft sweetness of the fruit plays against the savoury, briny fish, a sweet and salty contrast that works surprisingly well.

Food pairing

Serve on toasted bread or crackers, with fresh goat's cheese, or in a salad with rocket and walnuts. Try it with a dry white Port and tonic or a Moscatel de Setúbal.
