When the Sea Takes a Break: Mallorca's Fishermen between Storm and Supermarket

Answer

Why is fresh fish in Mallorca harder to find after winter storms?

Winter storms can keep fishing boats in port for days or even weeks, so fewer fish reach the harbors and markets. In Mallorca, that means less choice on the counters and often higher prices for fresh fish. Small fishing crews feel the impact quickly because they depend on regular outings.
