Slow Fish Genoa 

The Slow Fish event, held every 2 years in Genoa, is the most complete expression of our approach, with a large space dedicated to information for consumers, awareness raising for children, and meetings between people involved in sustainable fishing on every level. And of course, there are plenty of opportunities for visitors to taste all of the delicious seafood they have been learning about.  

The 2019 edition of Slow Fish was held in Genoa from May 9 to 12. “The Sea: A Common Good” was the theme of the ninth edition of the event, organized by Slow Food and the Region of Liguria. The focus was on positive messages and good practices that we can put in place to guarantee a better future, showing how consumers, fishers, cooks, policy makers, and scientists can each contribute to safeguarding the sea, a complex and delicate common good whose health depends on us taking care of it collectively.
