Overview

• A Coruña’s auction offered only nine boxes of fresh sardines, which sold out and left vendors like Mónica Mella charging up to €20 per kilo.
• In Vigo, the lonja de O Berbés unloaded just 580 kilos before dawn, prompting markets in Teis to keep stalls closed due to lack of supply.
• Prices for sardines in city markets climbed to €20–€25 per kilo, whereas Cangas vendors charged €12 and supermarkets listed them at €15.
• The Asociación Veciñal de Teis secured 180 kilos directly from a Cedeira fishing vessel to host its planned sardiñada.
• Shortage led many celebrations to pivot from fresh sardines to grilled churrasco as stocks fell short of demand.
