Comur - Ponta Delgada

Initially dedicated to exporting eels, Comur now produces around thirty varieties of canned goods and this cans are sold in this store.

The shop is right next to the Igreja Matriz de São Sebastião in the old town of Ponta Delgada and they offer sardines, gilthead bream, mackerel, lean fish, trout, cod, smoked salmon, and cod roe, as well as mussels, whelks, and octopus... all in tins, each more colorful and imaginative than the last!

Some are shaped like gold bars, others feature panoramas of Portuguese cities, and some are even stamped with dates from 1916 to the present day (look for your birth year!).

The only thing setting this store back is the astronomical prices! One can of fish ranges from 9,5-15 euros 😲😳.

Otherwise the aesthetic of the store is impeccable and further back in the store you can find a small jewellery shop.Read more
