π½οΈ About Pescheria L’Ancora
Nestled along the main road in Fossacesia, directly across from the DecΓ² supermarket, Pescheria L’Ancora operates as both a traditional fishmonger and an intimate seafood restaurant. This dual-purpose establishment has earned a stellar 4.7-star rating by combining the freshest daily catch with authentic Abruzzese coastal cooking traditions.
The restaurant’s approach centers on showcasing the pristine seafood of the Adriatic coast through simple yet expertly prepared dishes. Visitors can witness the quality firsthand, as the same fish displayed in the shop’s cases appears on their plates within hours of being caught. This farm-to-table philosophy, or rather sea-to-table, ensures an unparalleled level of freshness that discerning diners have come to expect.

The modest space fills quickly with locals and informed visitors who understand that the best seafood experiences often come from the most unassuming locations.

Reservations are essential at this popular local institution, particularly during peak dining hours. The combination of exceptional value, with premium seafood offerings at surprisingly reasonable prices, and consistently high quality has made Pescheria L’Ancora a must-visit destination for seafood enthusiasts exploring the Abruzzo coastline.
