About Us

 

Ancora Fish specializes in the processing of pelagic fish. We are located in the port of Ribeira, A Coruña, Galicia, and we operate daily in the main fish markets along the Cantabrian coast.

We have more than 30 years of experience in the fishing sector, covering the entire value chain: agreements with fishing vessels, purchasing, processing and freezing of fish, and quality supervision until obtaining the final product.

Also, We work in close collaboration with two processing plants in Morocco, supported by our own on‑site team that conducts thorough inspections of all incoming raw material. Our ability to purchase large volumes allows us to secure highly competitive pricing while maintaining strict quality control and traceability.

The main products we handle in Morocco include:

  • Sardine (Sardina pilchardus)
  • Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias)
  • Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda)
  • Frigate tuna / Melva (Auxis thazard)

 

All our fish come from sustainable sources, supported by responsible fishing practices that protect the marine ecosystem and species populations.

Our quality control department works according to the requirements of each market.

Continuous review and inspection before, during and after each process, together with strict cold‑chain maintenance, allow us to guarantee maximum product quality until its final destination, complying with European Union regulations (91/493 and 94/356 EEC).
