       After 5 years, at least, our fishermen, in the coast of the Sea of Cantabria, can follow fishing anchovy, because the ban has finished.There they name that fish “Bocarte or Anchoa”.Here you have a video to watch how fishermen get that fish:

Fishing anchovy in the Sea of Cantabria

      The bocarte becomes to anchoa.

      In 2010, the European Union let to Spain to fish bocarte and anchoa; but, 5 years before, the European Union banned anchovy fishing to Spain because this fish was endangered.

      The best catches occur at night, when the boatman attracts anchovy floodlights with his boat.

      The anchovy fishing we owe to Italian people from Sicily, who reached the Cantabrian coast in the late nineteenth Century.Concretely, Giovanni Vela was the inventor of the anchovy fillets.

      In the coast of Cantabria, the village Santoña is the main producer of anchovy.But it also happens in Colindres and Laredo.

      I hope that anyday you can come to the Coast of Cantabria to enjoy anchovy and another products.

      Kind regards,

Luis.
