Not a spicy fish, but the gentle, summery variety from the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSardines in tomato sauce\u003c\/strong\u003e are the mild classic among Portuguese canned fish: whole sardines, hand-selected, preserved with ripe tomatoes and a little sunflower oil, and lightly salted. Fruity, aromatic, and firm in texture, with no heat at all. On the can, they are labeled as Sardinhas em Tomate, and that is exactly what they are: sardine and tomato; no more drama is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFruity, succulent, and aromatic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tomato sauce is well-rounded and slightly sweet, the sardine beneath it firm and succulent. A fish that tastes of sunshine, not of a tin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe riper the tomato, the fuller the sauce, and the better it complements the fish. The sardine remains whole, does not fall apart, and can be lifted out of the tin in beautiful pieces to place on your bread. This way, you taste both fish and tomato in every bite, rather than one or the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mildness makes them versatile. Where a spicy sardine takes center stage, the tomato sardine plays a supporting role and leaves room for other ingredients – a team player on the plate. Those who enjoy the sauce can simply dip a piece of bread into it; it is far too good to throw away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWith rice, it becomes a main course\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA portion of rice, a few sautéed zucchini, the sardines with their tomato sauce on top – and the small tin becomes a full lunch. If you like, spoon some of the sauce over hot pasta, sprinkle with a little Parmesan, and you have a quick fish sugo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are just as popular eaten cold on bread, with some onion and parsley, or as a quick appetizer with olives and white bread. The sardines in tomato sauce enjoy uncomplicated company and a glass of light white wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer something spicy, reach for the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/porthos-sardinen-in-scharfer-tomatensauce\"\u003espicy tomato sauce\u003c\/a\u003e, or if you are looking for pure fish, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/porthos-sardinen-in-olivenoel\"\u003esardines in olive oil\u003c\/a\u003e.

In Matosinhos, the scent of the sea and fish is part of everyday life, and the short distances from the harbor keep the catch fresh. The roots date back to 1912.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand takes its name from the musketeer Porthos from Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel, the strongest of the three friends as Dumas created him. Since the 1950s, the stately musketeer has appeared on the can, and the artfully lithographed tin cans are among the most beautiful that Portugal has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, new recipes and colors have been added, but the musketeer has remained – a face recognized from Portugal to the Far East.
