Fish from the Adriatic
Along the canal, the sound of the water lapping against the fishing boats, and the sight of the fishermen’s terraced cottages, marked with colourful ceramics, are the embodiment of our nautical heritage.
The Adriatic Sea is rich with many species of oily fish, which contain a number of important nutrients.
The sea off Cervia has had Blue Flag status since 1999 for the outstanding quality of its waters which are teeming with fish all year round. Every day before dawn our fishermen head out to sea in search of the day’s catch. They return to port at the first light of day, just as the Riviera is waking up, to supply the market stalls, fishmongers and restaurants with their fresh catch.
From anchovies to swordfish, sole to tuna, sardines to mackerel or mullet and even lobsters and prawns, there is always fish and seafood on our tables.
The jewel in the crown are Cervia mussels, high in iron, and our delicious oysters.
You can try any of these at one of the traditional fish restaurants in the Borgo Marina area around the Darsena canal, as well as in our seafront hotels, during one of our many festivals, or on the seashore at one of our many beach clubs.
