Please check local regulations for: Estuário do Sado
At the mouth of the Sado River, in front of the city of Setúbal, in a tongue of sand that we now call Tróia, one of the most important fish canning industries flourished during the Roman Empire from the 1st to the 5th centuries. The region's resources were exploited - the abundance of fish, especially sardines, and the salt from estuaries and river beds. Salted fish was prepared and garum and other fish sauces were made and sold in Lusitania and exported to Rome and other provinces.
