Ecopesce is a company born in Cesenatico on the coasts of the Adriatic sea, specialized in the processing and transformation of wild seafood products. Our raw material comes from local fish markets and our product finds a wide market in the catering sector. We foster and embrace conscious consumering making use of every part of the fish “from head to tail” and our mission, which fits perfectly with the objective of the ReLEAF EU project, is to promote the zerowaste approach. We pay close attention to the conscious choice of our raw material, prefering small-scale fishing suppliers, respecting fishing seasonality and selecting the most appropriate sizes of fish. Our ethic is manufacturing authentic products that address the needs of the food service industry, providing ready to use solutions with zero waste such us filleted and gutted fish, shelled crustaceans, but also tartare and carpacci. Furthermore, the respect for the cold chain and the timeliness with which we process fresh fish allows us to offer frozen products without the use of additives and preservatives. In the last year we have been paying more attention to the wastes obtained from processing, with the aim of positioning them in market niches and researching new and smart uses.
