Between the months of June and July, Bombinhas hosts the Mullet Route 2025, one of the most anticipated gastronomic events in the region. Promoted by the City Hall in partnership with Sebrae/SC, the circuit values local culture and attracts visitors in search of authentic experiences — in addition to being of interest to those who are thinking of living or investing in the municipality.
In this guide, you can check out what to expect from the 2025 edition, how to take advantage of the exclusive menus and why this initiative also arouses the interest of those who want to live or invest in the region.
A season of flavors and memories
From June 17 to July 31, residents and visitors will be able to try the artisanal gastronomy of the region. The mullet — a typical fish of the Santa Catarina winter — will be the highlight in 12 new dishes created by traditional restaurants, such as Casa da Lagosta, already confirmed.
The other participants will be officially announced on June 16, during an event for chefs and influencers, when the exclusive menus will be presented.
From the net to the plate: Fishing in the routine and local economy
The Z7 fishing colony, in Rio Formoso (PE), maintains traditional practices of artisanal fishing and adaptation to the environment — knowledge also present on the coast of Santa Catarina, where mullet fishing is an essential part of the local identity and economy.
The campaign “Mullet Fishing is Heritage” strengthens this activity with actions such as:
- Workshops between fishermen and restaurants (“Grandpa knows, grandpa teaches”);
- Fam-tours with tour operators to promote the destination;
- “Here is Mullet” seal in participating establishments;
- Support and visibility for artisanal fishing ranches.
Fam-tours are technical visits organized for tourism agents to get to know the local attractions better
An experience for all profiles
In addition to attracting visitors, the route arouses the interest of those looking for quality of life with cultural identity and appreciation of the territory.
More than a gastronomic showcase, the event moves the entire production chain — from fishermen to restaurants — promoting real connections between the community and visitors. By encouraging sustainable practices and valuing local knowledge, the initiative generates income, boosts small businesses and strengthens community-based tourism.
