We are proud to announce the 15th edition of the Crofish Fair, the leading international event in fishing, fishing equipment, aquaculture, sport fishing and water sports. The fair is held from 24 to 26 November 2023 in the beautiful town of Poreč, in the Žatika hall.
Crofish is the only event of its kind in Croatia offering a diverse programme for all ages in one place, making it the ideal opportunity to discover the latest equipment and materials for fishing, aquaculture and sport fishing, see modern and traditional vessels, hear current information about the state of fishing or watch sports competitions.
Besides the rich fair programme, with exhibitors from Croatia, Italy, Slovenia and Spain, the fair offers numerous expert lectures. Alongside an analysis of Croatian marine fisheries and an introduction to the new fisheries financing period, topics include invasive species, the impact of climate change, the preservation of natural resources, intellectual property and innovation in the blue economy.
The event aims to promote the development of aquaculture and the fish market, strengthen the place of fish products in the local diet, encourage the construction of fishing infrastructure, improve business cooperation and access to fishing, and boost fishermen’s production, exports and competitiveness. The fair is therefore an ideal platform for exchanging experience and ideas, strengthening ties in the fishing community and promoting sustainable fishing as a vital sector for the region.
Plenty of side events this year too
Besides the exhibition and professional programme, visitors can try diving in a heated pool and taste sea and freshwater fish specialities prepared by top Croatian chefs from various regions, while the youngest can join creative workshops and educational shows or cheer at sports events.
A unique opportunity to see historic and fishing boats and vessels of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence for free awaits everyone who heads to Poreč’s waterfront, and the experience can be rounded off with a ride on the Crofish tourist train.
Poreč, a town proud of its fishing tradition as well as its tourism, is the right place for this unique event. More information is on the official Crofish website: www.crofish.eu
