Docapesca launched today the site "Lota em Casa", which allows the final consumer to identify the sales places of fresh fish originating from the Portuguese auctions, in each region, including municipal markets, fishmongers, large supermarkets and short circuits for the sale of fish (baskets).
Through the GPS location, the new site presents all the points of sale that adhere to the CCL – Proof of Purchase in Auction near our homes, also providing a feature that allows the user to increase the search radius up to 100 kilometers.
The guarantee of origin is given through the CCL label – Proof of Purchase at Auction, which indicates to the consumer that they are purchasing fish caught by national vessels on the Portuguese coast, which adopts the traceability rules required by law, respecting the seasonality of each species and the established fishing quotas, preserving the stocks fish farms.
