Mass production, peak tourist season with hordes of tourists and increasing competition of countless restaurants are influencing the owners to minimize their costs<\/strong>. If the restaurant owner hasn\u2019t adopted sustainability principles into his life and business, his focus will only be on maximizing the profits in the short-term, while saving on the quality of ingredients. In practice, this means that the fish and other seafood that is being served to you as delicious \u2018\u2019local gastronomy\u2019\u2019 actually comes from very distant fish farms.<\/strong>\u00a0These fish farms are not only producing low-quality fish that live in heartbreaking conditions but also massively destroy the environment.<\/p>\n

Due to the lower price of imported fish, local fishermen are facing challenges when selling their catch to the restaurants. It’s important to educate yourself about the quality of food that you put into your body and thus be a well-informed consumer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow the quality label ”Fishermen recommend”<\/h2>\n

As an alternative, the quality label<\/strong> Fishermen recommend<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was established. In Dalmatia it is known that the best recommendation on where to eat locally caught fish can be given by the fishermen<\/strong>. They know best which restaurants buy their catches.<\/p>\n
