Thessaloniki, a city on the coast of the Aegean Sea, is known for its long tradition of fishing and colorful fish markets, where the best quality fish and seafood are selected every morning. There, where fish is an integral part of the everyday table and is prepared simply – on the grill, in the oven with olive oil, lemon and herbs – our journey to the perfect seafood bite begins.
Fresh fish from the Thessaloniki market arrives directly at Super Vero fish shops, without intermediaries, quickly and carefully, in order to preserve its freshness, texture and the smell of the sea.
Below we present the seafood selection that has just arrived:
- Salmon fillets and whole salmon – rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is ideal for baking in the oven, on a pan or raw for sushi; juicy, slightly fatty and extremely nutritious.
- Sea bream – delicate, mild taste, perfect for grilling whole fish with lemon and olive oil; the bigger it is, the firmer the meat and the more pronounced the taste.
- Dry cod and cod fillets – valued in traditional cuisine; dry cod is cooked and prepared with potatoes and garlic, while fillets are ideal for frying or roasting.
- Porgy (portion 400/600g) – sea fish with a recognizable appearance and exceptional taste, excellent for cooking in the oven with fresh vegetables and herbs.
- Red mullet – a delicacy with an intense taste of the sea, highly valued in Mediterranean cuisine; ideal for frying whole with a crispy skin.
- Octopus – soft and aromatic when properly thermally processed; boiled and then grilled, it provides the authentic taste of Greek taverns.
- Anchovies – small but nutritionally rich fish, ideal for quick preparation in a pan or in the oven with lemon and wine; excellent for appetizers and appetizers.
- Sea bass – highly valued fish due to its juicy meat and mild taste.
- Saddled bream – a medium-sized fish with a characteristic taste of the sea, ideal for baking in the oven with potatoes and black olives.
- Blacksmith (known as San Pierre) – an exclusive and highly prized and rare fish with an unusual appearance, with a flattened body and a dark spot on the side. Its name “San Pierre” (or “St. Peter’s fish”) comes from an old Christian legend: it is believed that St. Peter caught this fish, and the dark spot on its side represents his fingerprint. Apart from the symbolism, the blacksmith has excellent, white meat without many bones, mild and pleasant taste, almost buttery in texture.
- Tuna sashimi – excellent quality, can be used raw for sushi or short-roasted (tataki); rich in proteins and extremely delicate texture.

- Cuttlefish – close to squid, but with a deeper, fuller taste; excellent for preparation with black sauce or in a pan with garlic and olive oil.
