What the creator captured
Eater explored the meticulous traditional methods of Pinhais, the only cannery in Matosinhos still performing every step of the sardine production by hand. The creator was particularly impressed by the artisanal wrapping process and the fact that the fish are aged for 90 days to enhance their flavor. Ultimately, the experience highlighted how manual techniques like wrist-flicking for cleaning ensure a superior, non-bitter taste compared to industrial methods.
