Our History

The parish of Quarteira, being a city that grew by the sea, moves a sector that supports countless families: Fishing.

In addition to being associated with the cultural identity of this parish, the consumption of fresh fish is essential to maintain a balanced diet In Quarteira, the ease of direct access to fresh fish, coming directly from our coast, presents itself as a valuable resource.

QUARPESCA and the Parish Council of Quarteira, with the collaboration of Docapesca - Portos e Lotas, SA, see this context as an opportunity to contribute to the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the parish.

Thus, the Cesta do Peixe project aims to implement the means to deliver fish baskets to the home, thus giving guarantees to the parishioners who receive, weekly, in their homes, fresh and quality products.
