Lonja de A Coruña operates on the Linares Rivas quay in the Galician port of A Coruña. It is a first-sale market for fish and seafood, bringing together vessel operators, auction houses and wholesalers. The operating company was established in 2004. Its auction description refers to 30 auction houses and traditional descending-price voice auctions. A business seeking supply therefore needs to identify an appropriate trading intermediary and actual lots, in addition to contacting the building's administration.
The Xunta de Galicia fisheries yearbook provides species-level results for 2025. For hake, labelled Pescada, it records 2,945,936 kg and EUR 14,542,638 in first-sale value. Both indicators concern that species at this market only. They are neither total port turnover nor the operator's income. The table also includes blue whiting, horse mackerel, sardines and anchovies, among other categories. Differences in weight and sales value help a prospective buyer understand the market's product mix.
A buyer should specify species, size, origin, presentation and the required delivery date. Clarify whether the intended purchase is a complete landed lot or goods prepared by a wholesaler, as the service and price basis may differ. Collection planning should cover local sale time, refrigeration, packaging and loading arrangements. Overseas customers may benefit from a trading contact who can handle their working language and provide written settlement terms. The market's published contact details offer a starting point for these enquiries.
A seller should agree acceptance, lot descriptions, documents and landing information with an auction house before sending goods. Ask separately about commission, handling, storage and transport rather than assuming that one charge includes everything. Both parties benefit from an agreed point at which responsibility for product quality transfers. Freshness, temperature and consistency within a lot can matter more than a comparison between two broad average prices. These are practical transaction-planning suggestions, not a verified fee schedule or statement of compulsory procedures.
Its R status distinguishes statistical reporting from a seller's direct quotation. Current-year data may be revised and published with a delay. Retain the observation date, species and volume behind an average when building a price comparison. The official yearbook supports historical analysis, but neither it nor an aggregator's chart confirms the availability of a particular lot. The final commercial enquiry should state the desired grade and delivery basis so that competing offers can be compared consistently.
