Pescados Consuelo y Pardalet, in the charming town of Santa Eulalia del Río, has consolidated its position as the leading company in Ibiza’s fish and seafood sector. This family company has almost four decades of experience and stands out for its professionalism and firm commitment to quality, and today is a benchmark ‒ and trusted partner ‒ for the top hotels and restaurant on the island.
The history of Consuelo y Pardalet began with Juan and Consuelo, a couple who decided to begin their business career with a small fishmonger’s. Over the years, hard work and dedication has transformed their modest fishmonger’s into an impressive industrial warehouse that covers more than 500 m2 and is fitted with its own hatcheries for wholesale. In addition, Consuelo y Pardalet has a stand at Santa Eulalia market, meaning it can keep in direct contact and maintain close relationships with its clients.
The star product at Pescados Consuelo y Pardalet is unquestionably Ibizan red lobster. According to Juan José Tur, this type of lobster is vastly superior in quality and flavour to those caught in other places. “Ibizan lobster is a total ambrosia,” states Tur. “Its meat is juicier, and the flavour is more intense, thanks to the unique characteristics of our sea and the hard work of our fishermen.”
But the company doesn’t just sell lobster, and clients can purchase a wide range of live seafood, and fresh and frozen fish. Each product is selected with the maximum care, always guaranteeing the greatest possible freshness and quality. This rigorous approach to selecting products has helped them earn the trust of renowned chefs and luxury restaurants, which want to offer their diners the finest flavours of the sea.
Sustainability and support for local fishermen
In addition to its commitment to quality products, Consuelo y Pardalet is notable for its firm focus on sustainability and constant support of the local fishing community. The company closely collaborates with Ibizan fishermen, promoting responsible and sustainable fishing that ensures the conservation of marine resources for future generations. This commitment benefits the environment and also strengthens the local economy, guaranteeing a fair, stable income for the island’s fishermen.
This approach means Pescados Consuelo y Pardalet is an excellent example of how to combine tradition and modernity to offer exceptional products without compromising natural resources. Its focus on quality, sustainability and support for the local community has turned the company into a cornerstone of the fishing sector in Ibiza.
When you walk through its industrial warehouse, the Tur family’s pride and passion for their business quickly becomes obvious. From nurseries packed with live lobsters to counters brimming with fresh seafood, every area reflects their hard work and a love of their trade. This passion is expressed to their clients, who know that by choosing Pescados Consuelo y Pardalet, they are choosing the best that Ibiza’s sea has to offer. Today, Consuelo y Pardalet is synonymous with excellence, tradition, and commitment. Its leadership of the sector, backed by its long years of experience and deep connection with the sea and local fishing community, has earned it a special place in the island’s heart.
