20 Tonnes of Spoiled Fish in Palma — A Wake-up Call for the Cold Chain
Why Fish Safety Risks Rise in Mallorca's High Season
Mallorca's high season increases pressure on deliveries and storage, which can make fish safety problems more likely.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why do fish safety problems happen more often during Mallorca's high season?
High season puts more pressure on deliveries, storage, and kitchen schedules across Mallorca. When goods move faster and staff are stretched, it becomes easier for temperature control and stock management to slip. That is one reason inspectors focus closely on wholesalers and storage facilities during busy months.
