Join them on this adventure and find out why are they so successful.
Listen to a passionate and delicious story about a family of biologists, who decided to cultivate the best fish in the world and enjoy all its flavors.
This experience takes place in the southern part of the Slovenian coast, at the Slovenia’s only fish farm in the protected environment of the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park. While enjoying this experience, you will take a bite of the raw Fonda sea bass, with a pinch of Pirans fleur de sel and a few drops of Istrian olive oil, along with a glass of Malvasia wine, which will convince you that the family succeeded in their endeavor. This fish boutique in the middle of the sea stands out especially for its sustainable sea bass farming.
Learn why from an economic perspective, everything is done ‘incorrectly’ at the Fonda Fish Farm: fish are kept in the water for too long, they are fed overly expensive food, only the best fingerlings are farmed, everything is done by hand, chemicals are not used and there are ten times fewer fish in the nets than what is usual. However, this is the price that they pay in their strong desire to farm the best reared fish in the world.
The meeting point is at our small fish farming port at the end of the Saint Jernej canal (the very last building on the left), at the edge of Sečovlje Salina Nature Park. The entrance to our yard where you can park your car is at the sign FONDA on the right side, near a big old olive tree. Please adhere to the schedule and arrive neither too early nor too late, as there might be another group ahead of or behind you, or you may be joining others for a group visit. Your punctuality will significantly contribute to a seamless and pleasant experience for all. Regrettably, we won't be able to wait for latecomers.
