The
Fish Marketing Centre, fully renovated in 1995, houses on the ground
floor the cold room for the storage of fish, the sorting room and
a 1000 metre sales hall. The Fish Marketing Centre provides storage
for 250 tonnes of merchandise under refrigeration. Compliance
with EC standards has meant, together with other health measures,
that entrance to the auction is reserved solely for fish trade professionals.
A "visitors gallery", accessible by a staircase, on the
harbour side, enables the public to watch an auction being held.
The auction is held every morning at 7 am, from Monday to Friday. |

The
catch on the boats is notified to the port before their return,
by telephone or Internet and recorded on the catch declaration board. .
After unloading, the fish, packed in trays weighing approximately 15 kg, is weighed by the fishermen or staff of the auction and transferred into the sales hall after a thorough veterinary inspection. The trays are visible to all buyers before sale. Only trade professionals: fish merchants, wholesalers and fishmongers take part in the sale.  |
