VOICED : La pesca artesanal de centolla persiste en la ciudad del fin del mundo

In the southernmost part of Argentina, the traditional practice of centolla fishing remains unchanged. In Puerto Almanza, a small village south of Ushuaia, the entire community engages in this artisanal fishing, offering freshly caught centolla to visitors. This practice provides an economic alternative during tourist seasons. The centolla is served in various dishes, celebrated for its unique taste compared to Alaskan varieties. Fishing began in 1930, but overfishing led to a temporary ban in 1994. Residents now prioritize sustainable practices, limiting tourist numbers to preserve resources. Occasionally, centolla is sent to the capital for special events, but locals emphasize that to truly enjoy it, one must travel south.
