Día del Ceviche: Comerciantes afectados por escasez de pescado

Given the recent weather events and changes that have affected sea temperatures, fish shortages have become increasingly common at the main fishing terminals in the capital. This situation arises on the eve of Ceviche Day, where many vendors warn that the lack of products could prevent many families from celebrating this day dedicated to one of the country's most representative dishes. Furthermore, the price of the little fish available has been increasing, while the options are becoming more limited, leading to a decrease in demand. SHORTAGE DAYS BEFORE “CEVICHE DAY” With just days to go before the start of this celebration, vendors warn that fish prices have been steadily increasing, registering ever-greater rises as the days go by. “Some fishermen are going out to work; when there was plenty of fish, they came with lots, but not anymore,” said one vendor. Likewise, the El Niño phenomenon has been identified as one of the main causes of the increasingly frequent fish shortage in recent weeks. “Right now, the El Niño current is keeping them away; the fish are out at sea, so we're trying to find the exact time to fish,” added another vendor. ALTERNATIVE FISH On the other hand, some vendors are offering recommendations for fish alternatives to enjoy on this important day. “Right now, fish is scarce; there's no silverside. There might be corvina or croaker, but there's not much,” one vendor stated.
