This trend has been amplified by social media platforms like TikTok, where users showcase tinned fish as a convenient and novel source of protein. In Portugal, artisanal producers such as the family-owned Pinage sardine cannery have seen a 20% rise in sales over the past five years, attributed in part to the product's authentic production methods and appealing packaging.

Local businesses in Porto, such as the Mercieria das Flores café, are capitalizing on this renewed interest by offering gourmet menus centered around high-quality tinned fish. The movement has transformed tinned fish from a simple, inexpensive food into a culinary experience, attracting both locals and tourists. The trend highlights a shift in perception, with tinned fish now seen as both a convenient and exciting food option.
