Six fishing vessels, with permanent settlement in the Mar del Plata port, are the source which "EL MARISCO" company has to produce its 12.000 tons of fillet of different kinds annually.

Each tide brings about 1,000 tons in the "Antonio Saverio", "Arturo Jorge", "El Marisco I and II" and "Sirius II and III", wich are the names of our vessels.

During the whole year, almost 30,000 tons of fish are caught and processed in up-date factories, with high technology standards and excellent quality, the same as the international market requires.

These factories, altogether, have a stock capacity of 2,000 tons at 30 Celsius degrees below zero.

Six plate freezers and ten blast tunnels allow us to keep a 60 ton-rhythm of every type of sea species in different presentations daily.

Looking at this solid insfrastructure, it is difficult to think about our humble origin, in wich we only thought about home trade.

Anyway, we keep this in mind because it was the solid step from which EL MARISCO started growing.

The fishing trade activity started in 1925. It was a typical familiar company. After 43 years of hard work, it started importing shellfish.

Only 5 year later, we started our industrial activities, adding a cold-storage house at the Mar del Plata port, and two fishing vessels. This enabled us to start exporting to Europe, U.SA., Japan and Brazil.

The rest is recent history. The volume obtained from the moment exports started shows the evolution EL MARISCO has had concerning fishing and processing.

This is how we can explain our constant presence in the international trade, wich is competitive and demanding.
