Fishing origin

The original recipe prepared by fishermen during their working days consisted of potatoes and morralla, those pieces of fish that are less popular at the fish market. Over time, the local restaurants have reinterpreted that preparation in a hundred ways, replacing the morralla with fish such as monkfish, grouper, sea bream, conger eel, crayfish... or innovating in the preparation of this versatile dish.

The gastronomic campaign dedicated to fish stew has already become a classic of the autumn season in Roses, which promotes and highlights local restaurants and local products, such as fresh fish from Roses and wines from the Empordà.

To better understand the marine world, throughout the year, except during closed periods, guided tours of the port and fish market are held, which are sometimes combined with interesting cooking demonstrations in the Gastronomic Classroom.

Fish Suquet and DO Empordà wines, a winning combination

The perfect pairing for all these tasty menus is provided by the excellent wines of the DO Empordà. For this reason, the participating restaurants, as the main prescribers of local products, recommend the appropriate wine from the DO Empordà to accompany each of the menus. In this way, by pairing the products of the sea and the land, you can savor the entire essence of the Empordà.

Promotion in local markets

The campaign is promoted through different advertising and communication actions in the local markets: Empordà, Garrotxa, Ripollès, Catalonia, Andorra, south and center of France. It is mainly aimed at an audience interested in discovering the gastronomic offer, who values ​​the good work of chefs and who takes advantage of autumn to enjoy Roses and its exceptional cultural, natural and gastronomic heritage.

All information about the participating restaurants and detailed menus can be found on the Roses Tourism website: Roses Fish Suquet 2026 and also in the leaflets that are distributed at the Tourist Office and in various establishments in Roses.
