Fish farming in Chioggia

Fish tourism: the lift nets and the silence of the river mouths

Fishing in Chioggia is not simply deep sea fishing: along the mouths of the rivers you can see the romantic and traditional constructions of casoni on stilts used for fishing with lift nets.

Lift net is a large square net that is immersed in water and raised at regular intervals to collect the catch: to reach your destination, one of the many fish farms in the Chioggia area, there is a boat trip that stimulates your appetite and immerses you in the romantic atmosphere of an almost magical place.

Discover traditional chioggian fish dishes to be savoured in situ, away from the stress of everyday life, enjoying flavours and aromas with the lapping of the waves and the incomparable spectacle of extraordinary sunsets over the sea.
