Slow Food and the association Club Bleu Artisanal are organising an event titled ‘Slow Fish in Tunisia – Artisanal fishing and responsible eating in the Maghreb and Mediterranean’ in the ancient port of Bizerte on April 7 with participation from artisanal fishermen and chefs from Tunisia, Morocco, Italy and Egypt.
The event is part of the international Slow Fish campaign bringing together local gastronomy, protection of the sea and defence of the communities of artisanal fishermen in the Mediterranean.
It is also an opportunity to highlight the role of the Slow Food ‘garrisons’ and communities, promote the brand Club Blue Artisanal, bring together chefs, experts, students, fishermen and consumers and taste the local cuisine.
The Slow Food ‘garrisons’ support the small traditional productions that risk disappearing, promote territories and salvage ancient trades and traditional fishing methods such as those of the Tunisian fishermen of Ouled Ezzedine (Kerkennah islands), who will be present in Bizerte.
