Pargo, octopus, ray, anglerfish and conger fished off the coast of Sagres received, for their quality, the highest praise from visitors to the event “Peixe em Lisboa 2012” which took place, from 12 to 22 April, at Pátio da Galé, in Terreiro do Paço, in Lisbon.
A snapper weighing around eight kilos was made by students from the Lisbon Hotel School during the show cooking, which was then tasted by visitors who passed through that space.
From 19:00 pm to 20:00 pm a Chef organized a class with a group of guests, where he created a recipe with a snapper weighing around three kilos.
During the event, the five main species traded at Lota de Sagres were on display: octopus, conger, rays, anglerfish and snapper.
Of the 10 auctions participating in the initiative, invited by Docapesca in Lisbon, the one in Sagres presented the best fish. This auction is characterized by the quantity and quality of the big fish traded there.
The valuation of fish traded in the Portuguese auctions and more specifically, within the scope of the CCL project - Proof of Purchase at Auction, which aims to inform and sensitize the final consumer, fishermen and businessmen in the sector, to issues related to the valorization of fish and sustainability fisheries and fish stocks were the objectives of this initiative.
The fish from Lota de Sagres is a fish with Proof of Purchase at Lotta (CCL), therefore a product controlled from its origin to the final consumer that brings benefits not only to the consumer, but also to the environment.
This Certificate aims to qualitatively and quantitatively value the fish traded in the auctions on the Portuguese mainland and, consequently, the sustainability and profitability of the Fishing Sector in Portugal.
The initiative in Lisbon was attended by the presidents of Vila do Bispo City Council, Adelino Soares, and the Sagres Fishing Shipowners Association, Jorge Rosado.
