ARTISANAL FISHING IN THE CANARIES
The sea, a boat, a fisherman and a hook are the basic elements of the unhurried and environment-friendly artisanal fishing practised in the Canary Islands. The fleet comprises around 600 fibre or wooden boats with an average length of nine metres. Fishing tends to take place close to the shore, with catches reaching the fish market, fish shops and restaurants within hours. Freshness is guaranteed.
