Who?
The Town Museum of Umag has developed a joint Sea flavour Project with the Italian Community Centre “Fulvio Tomizza” of Umag to enhance the value of the local fishing tradition and conserve the culinary heritage through local fishing products as well as to encourage their further spread and development.
What?
The Sea flavour Project is aimed at informing the public about the importance of fish and other seafood consumption with the purpose of acquainting people with the different species of fish, other marine organisms as well as the traditional culinary practices and hence encouraging major fish and seafood consumption and reinforcing, in the long run, the fishing sector within the area of the Pinna nobilis Fisheries Local Action Group. The project is funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.
The project was financed with funds from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.
HOW?
Beside professional nutritionists, marine biologists, hospitality workers, historians and journalists, the Project actively includes the locals too, not only as the main source of knowledge and skills related to community fishing traditions but also as a conveyor of such knowledge.
WHOO IS INTENDED FOR?
Everyone! For all those who are eager to acquire new experiences and broaden their knowledge by exploring the culinary heritage of the region. We currently promote the culinary heritage of Umag, we would also like to present the contemporary food trends in the broader Umag area in the future.
