Fish's first solo performance in Portugal occured in 1990. Fans were still recovering from the split between Marillion and Fish. Fish played two memorable concerts (old Cinema Alvalade, in Lisbon, and Coliseu do Porto) presenting his debut solo album, and singing many Marillion classics.

In 1994 Fish was announced in the line up of the "Queima das Fitas de Coimbra" festival. Many fans travelled to the city students, but only for lack of honesty the name Fish was kept in the bill until the concert night when he had never acceptd. the invitation to play in Coimbra.

Fans had to wait until 2005 to see the Scottish giant in Portuguese land. This time it was in Azores (Terceira Island), to a Summer concert when Fish was preparing his "Misplaced Childhood" 20th anniversary tour. This was followed by a return to Lisbon, in 2006 to present the same tour. It was a single concert in Aula Magna on November 11, to an audience of 1600 people, with live internet broadcasting.
