How we farm

Slow production,
by nature.

Earthen tidal ponds, water from the Ria, natural food and hands that know every pond. This is how a different sea bream is raised.

Four practices

What makes a sea bream different.

  1. 01

    The Ria renews the water for us

    The earthen ponds lie just a few metres from the sea. Salt water flows in and out naturally with the tide, in a stable, well-oxygenated environment close to the wild.

  2. 02

    A tidal pond full of life

    Seaweed, small molluscs and invertebrates live naturally in the tidal ponds and form part of the fish's diet. A complete ecosystem, not just a pond.

  3. 03

    Room to grow well

    We never exceed 3 kg of fish per cubic metre of water. More space means less stress, more natural growth and greater quality in every fish.

  4. 04

    By hand, as always

    The harvest is done with nets, in the ponds themselves, by people who know every tidal pond. A simple practice that keeps the fish intact right up to the last moment.

From above

When the food arrives, the tidal pond wakes up.

Seen from the air, the shoal rises to the surface and the water changes texture. It is one of the moments of the day when you best grasp how much life a tidal pond can hold.
