Delicius renews its commitment as a partner of the Msc Sustainable Fishing Weeks

Delicius renews its commitment as a partner of the Msc Sustainable Fishing Weeks until 25 October, a key initiative promoting increasingly conscious fish consumption.

This campaign – in which Delicius has participated since 2021 – aims to draw attention to how product quality cannot be separated from the need to protect marine ecosystems. For the company, this commitment translates into concrete responsibility through controlled supply chains, the enhancement of certifications and, above all, deep respect for the rhythms of the sea.

Dark nights

The processing of blue fish, in fact, requires careful attention to the rhythms of nature. An emblematic example of this is anchovy fishing, which still takes place during dark nights, that is, moonless nights between March and October when the darkness of the sky frames the only lights present at sea: those of the fishing lamps.

This is traditional fishing carried out with large purse seines, a highly selective and marine-ecosystem-friendly method that does not come into contact with the seabed and protects the quality of the catch.

Cantabrian Sea anchovies

The same care is reflected in the selection of Cantabrian Sea anchovies: these are caught exclusively during specific periods, both to protect the ecosystem and to take advantage of the perfect moment when the cold, oxygenated and nutrient-rich waters can best nourish the anchovies.

This selection, caught according to the Msc environmental sustainability standard, is represented in concrete terms by the Extra Large Anchovy Fillets in Olive Oil, caught in the Cantabrian Sea through Msc-certified sustainable fishing and contained in circular tins that preserve their integrity and quality over time.

Delicius's commitment to these issues extends beyond its production lines and embraces a strong educational vocation. All achievements, resource management and efforts to reduce environmental impact are documented in detail in the sustainability reports, in addition to having been at the heart of the Be Blue – The Sea Conference, held on 11 June 2026 in Milan and which, since 2022, has aimed to explore the deep connections between the sea, life and society.
