Pescado y Marisco de Luarca Street Market
The Luarca Fish Market is one of the most unique attractions in the “white town” of the Costa Verde, closely tied to the daily activity of the Luarca fish auction. At the Luarca Fish Market, you can find fresh produce just unloaded by the port’s deep-sea and coastal fleets: northern bonito, chicharro, xarda, pincho hake, conger eel, pixín, and a variety of seafood from the western Cantabrian Sea. Many restaurants in Luarca buy directly from this market, ensuring the short supply chain that has made the town one of the capitals of Asturian seafood cuisine. Exploring the Luarca Fish Market is a must-see for lovers of Cantabrian seafood and for anyone seeking the maritime essence of Asturias’s Costa Verde, with the mist over the fishing port and seagulls circling the tidal harbor.

Get to Know the Market
A little background
uarca has been a major fishing port in western Asturias since medieval times, with a fleet that specialized throughout the 20th century in coastal fishing for northern bonito. The Luarca fish market, which is administered by the Principality of Asturias, currently manages the daily auctions of fresh catch unloaded by the fleet, which forms the basis of the Luarca Fish Market.
In addition to wholesale sales through the fish market, the Valdés City Council and the fishermen’s guild have organized events for direct sales to the public featuring the catch of the day, especially during the albacore tuna season. It is a must-see destination for culinary tourism in western Asturias and one of the best opportunities to sample the finest Cantabrian cuisine right at its source.
