<br />
The Puerto Pesquero Artesanal (Artisanal Fishing Port) in Salinas is a working fishing harbor and fish market that offers a fascinating window into the Peninsula's fishing culture. Unlike the tourist-oriented malecón, this is where real work happens.<br />
<br />
== The Port ==<br />
<br />
The artisanal fishing port is home to Salinas' fleet of small and medium fishing vessels — from small one-man pangas to larger multi-person boats. Activities at the port include:<br />
<br />
* Early morning return of fishing vessels with overnight or multi-day catches<br />
* Unloading of fish, shrimp, squid, and other seafood<br />
* On-site processing and cleaning of catch<br />
* Sale of fresh fish directly from boats or at the adjacent fish market<br />
<br />
== The Fish Market ==<br />
<br />
Adjacent to the port is a local fish market (mercado de pescado) where the day's catch is sold wholesale and retail. Early morning (5–9 AM) is when the market is most active. Buyers include:<br />
<br />
* Restaurant owners from across the Peninsula<br />
* Private individuals buying fresh fish at excellent prices<br />
* Intermediaries who supply inland markets<br />
<br />
The variety and freshness of fish available here far exceeds what you'll find in supermarkets.<br />
<br />
== Visiting ==<br />
<br />
The port area is open to visitors (though it's a working area — be respectful and stay out of the way). The best time to visit is early morning when boats arrive. Photography is generally permitted.<br />
<br />
== Getting There ==<br />
<br />
The Puerto Pesquero Artesanal is in the eastern part of Salinas, a short taxi ride or walk from the main malecón. Ask locally for directions.<br />
