LABORATORIO ARTIGIANALE “ALICI DI MENAICA”
This ancient fishing technique developed around the Mediterranean Sea at the time of the ancient Greeks, is aimed at fishing “Menaica anchovies ". This technique, now replaced by new and modern fishing methods, has survived in very few places in Italy. Marina di Pisciotta is a place where this technique survives thanks to a small fleet of six fishermen, who continue to carry on this ancient tradition. In “Menaica anchovies" workshop, this tradition becomes an economic resource. In 2013 six of the seven Menaica boats sold almost the totality of their catch to the laboratory, and the production has become more and more significant, while still preserving a "niche product" identity. Continuous activity.
