On the southwest coast of Spain lies Isla Cristina, home to one of the country’s most renowned fish markets. It is here that Colorao PYM (Pescados y Mariscos) sources and processes some of the finest seafood available, continuing a tradition that connects the daily catch with chefs and restaurants across Spain—and now also the Benelux.
A Constant Supply from Sea to Kitchen
With a fleet of more than 350 fishing boats, Isla Cristina is one of the largest and most active fishing ports in Spain. This ensures a constant and diverse supply: from carabineros and gamba roja to cigalas, quisquilla, canilla, calamar, and countless other treasures from the sea. For chefs, this means reliable access to premium seafood that elevates menus and inspires creativity.
Natural Processing, Preserved at Peak Quality
Colorao PYM is committed to maintaining seafood at its very best. The catch is handled naturally, then shock-frozen at -60°C, preserving texture, flavor, and nutritional quality. This method guarantees that chefs receive seafood that tastes as if it had just come out of the water—even after storage or transport.
A Partner for Fine Dining
Whether it’s the deep flavor of a carabinero, the delicate sweetness of a cigala, or the versatility of calamar, Colorao PYM delivers the building blocks of unforgettable dining experiences. Their approach combines tradition with technology, ensuring that chefs can bring the authentic taste of Isla Cristina directly to the plate.
For chefs in Spain and beyond, Colorao PYM offers more than seafood—it offers consistency, reliability, and the essence of the sea, frozen in time at the perfect moment.
