Terminal Pesquero

If you're looking to experience the heart of Antofagasta’s seafood culture, Terminal Pesquero is the spot you need to explore. Nestled at La Cañada 15, this bustling seafood market is more than just a place to grab a bite-it’s a full-on immersion into Chile’s coastal flavors. As soon as you step into Terminal Pesquero, you're greeted with the unmistakable scent of the ocean and the vibrant energy of locals selecting the freshest catch of the day.

The vibe here is raw, authentic, and refreshingly unpretentious. It’s the kind of place where seafood isn’t just served-it’s celebrated. You’ll find stalls brimming with fish just off the boat, clams that still carry the ocean breeze, and sea urchins that make their way directly from the net to your plate. And the best part? Many of these vendors also run small, humble eateries right inside the terminal, turning their freshest offerings into mouthwatering meals right on the spot.

Expect simple wooden tables, open grills, and plates piled high with mariscos. Whether it's ceviche made from reineta or sizzling chupe de loco, each dish delivers on both flavor and freshness. The ambiance may feel more fish market than fine dining, but that’s exactly the charm. You're not just eating seafood-you’re eating seafood where it lives.

Locals love it, tourists stumble upon it and stay for hours, and everyone leaves a little saltier and a whole lot happier. For those who appreciate down-to-earth experiences packed with flavor, Terminal Pesquero in Antofagasta serves up exactly what the sea-and the soul-crave.
