This happens because local fishermen are allowed to sell the fish they catch only to fish collection centers (cherhana in Romanian). From there, the fish usually gets to other intermediaries, and then ends up in supermarkets, a Danube Delta fisherman told Adevarul. Local guesthouse and restaurant owners have no choice but to buy the fish from the supermarket, at much higher prices. Tourists who visit the Danube Delta thus end up paying similar prices for fish dishes that they would pay in any other region in the country.
“The fish is taken from the supermarket because this is the only possibility for the guesthouses to have documents on this fish,” Danube Delta governor Malin Musetescu said.
Sometimes restaurant owners manage to buy the fish they need directly from the collection centers, but these centers usually prefer to sell the fish wholesale, not per kilogram. Moreover, in some cases, tourists in the Danube Delta also eat fish brought from Bulgaria, as the neighboring country sells it at lower prices than local collection centers.
