MIM is the driving force behind Milan's seafood industry

The Milan Fish Market operates every day to ensure a wide selection of products, high food safety standards, and logistical efficiency. It is home to over 20 specialized operators who coordinate purchasing and distribution to fishmongers, restaurants, local markets, and large-scale retailers.

Discover the operators

The Milan Fish Market is a vibrant world waiting to be explored at the first light of dawn. Coming to the market isn’t just about stocking the restaurant. It’s about personally selecting the catch, feeling the freshness of quintali of produce firsthand, and learning about the origin and seasonality of each ingredient.

The Io compro al mim badge

Retailers displaying the MIM logo are recognizable throughout the city’s neighborhoods as a direct link between the supply chain and the consumer. They carry the values of the Fish Market beyond the district and work every day to promote a culture of seafood based on quality, seasonality, and sustainability.

A high-quality supply chain, FROM FISHING TO TABLE

Fishing

The fish comes from all over the world. MIM works with certified supply chains that comply with the Common Fisheries Policy, promoting seasonal fish and sustainable sourcing methods.
Transportation

From the fishing grounds to the processing plant, the cold chain is never interrupted. Specialized refrigerated vehicles ensure that the product arrives in the city intact and safe.
Arrival at the Milan Fish Market

While the city is still asleep, the Fish Market is already in full swing, receiving incoming goods and managing the logistics of unloading and handling. Trading begins at 4 a.m., the busiest time of day at the market.
Control and Traceability

Incoming goods undergo rigorous health inspections. Daily inspections of sales areas, products on sale, and compliance with health and hygiene standards ensure high safety standards.
MIM Operators

The safe, certified raw materials arrive at the stalls of the MIM vendors. Serving as a link between the market and the city, they distribute fresh, high-quality fish every day to fishmongers, restaurants, and large retailers.
Fishmongers and restaurants

MIM fish is available at specialty fishmongers, market stalls, and restaurants. These are carefully selected businesses that meet MIM’s quality standards and guarantee the freshness of the ingredients destined for consumers’ tables.
Our tables

Whether cooked at home, in cafeterias, or at restaurants, fish makes its way to consumers’ tables. The City of Milan’s Food Policy aims to educate younger generations about healthy and mindful eating by including MIM fish on the menus of the city’s schools.
