Fishing tradition, passed from one generation to the next 🩵
In Fažana, fishing is more than a memory of the past. It is part of the town’s character — from batane rocking in the harbour and nets being mended by hand, to the pilchard that has found its place on local tables for generations.
The Small Fishing Academy Pilchard keeps this heritage alive through events such as School of Salting Pilchard, Sea at the Table, Things that Fishermen Know and Rhapsody in Blue, while Traditional Evenings at the waterfront bring fishing skills and workshops to the heart of summer.
It is a tradition to be tasted, touched, learned and shared — with the sea always at the heart of it.
The Small Fishing Academy Pilchard project is supported by Visit Istria
