A history of sea spanning 5 generations
Antica Pescheria da Antonio – L'Arte del Mare has been carrying on a family tradition for five generations, built on passion, experience, and firsthand knowledge of the sea. Ours is a history of fishermen: for over 100 years, we've been sailing the seas of Salento with boats suitable for fishing. Every day, we select the best local catch of Salento to offer our customers.
At our counter, you'll find a variety of fresh fish every day, carefully selected based on what's available. Visit us in the historic center of Gagliano del Capo to discover an authentic experience where tradition, expertise, and affordability meet.
From the sea to the table
Choosing Antica Pescheria da Antonio means choosing a business that lives by the sea every day, focusing on transparency, quality, and a direct relationship with customers. Our local Salento catch is the result of daily labor based on our knowledge of the sea and the fishing seasons. We carefully select only the best seafood available at the best time, to ensure freshness and authenticity.
From the moment of fishing to its arrival at the counter, each phase is carefully monitored to preserve the product's taste and quality.
Thanks to our firsthand fishing experience, we can recommend the most suitable fish based on the season and the type of dish you're preparing. We can recommend the best fish, propose simple or more elaborate recipes, and take care of cleaning the fish so it's ready for cooking.
Deliveries and supplies for those seeking the best of the sea
Our business isn't limited to counter sales. Antica Pescheria da Antonio also offers services to private customers, restaurants, commercial establishments, and food service businesses. In addition to direct sales, we also offer home deliveries outside the province of Lecce, reaching as far as Naples, bringing the best local Salento fish directly to where you need it.
