The campaign 'Pez de Tarragona. Todo un gusto', now in its fifth edition, has introduced a new series of four documentaries focused on the fishing industry to highlight the value of local fish and the trades linked to this sector in the city.
This November, the first documentary, titled Un pez, dos culturas, is available for viewing. It explores interculturality and how Tarragona's fish can bring together people and diverse traditions around a shared product. The series will continue over the coming months, featuring four additional documentaries that aim to connect the public with local fish products, the professionals behind them, and their value chain.
In December, the second documentary, Del mar a mesa, will be released, showcasing the entire value chain of fish products. It will follow the journey of fish from the boats at sea to the fish markets, detailing the processes involved until it reaches consumers' tables.
January will see the release of Un día en el mercado. Del puerto a la pescadería, which will illustrate the work conducted from the arrival of fish at the port to its preparation and display in fishmongers, highlighting the daily tasks that ensure the quality, freshness, and traceability of products sold in local markets.
Finally, in February, Gente de mercado will focus on the individuals working behind the counters and the various professionals involved in the marketing of fish, emphasising the importance of fishmongers and their contribution to maintaining local commerce and proximity food sources.
This series of audiovisual productions aims to raise awareness among the public about the value of Tarragona's fish, the importance of consuming local products, the fishing sector's contribution to the local economy, and the role of traditional trades linked to the sea, which continue to create jobs, identity, and social cohesion in the region.
The Tarragona City Council and Tarragona Impulsa express their gratitude to all entities and individuals who contributed to the creation of these documentaries, particularly the organisations involved in the campaign 'Pez de Tarragona. Todo un gusto', as well as the Serrallo Neighbourhood Association, the African Women’s Association of Tarragona, local fishermen and fishmongers, and all those who participated selflessly in the various recordings. This initiative is funded by the Public Employment Service of Catalonia (SOC) as part of Local Development Projects and was produced by Ayhe Communication. The first documentary, Un pez, dos culturas, is now available for viewing.
