Start with bullit de peix, a two-stage fish dish: first a simply seasoned rockfish stew with potatoes and aioli, then arroz a banda cooked in the same broth. This one’s ideal for sharing. Ibiza also serves sofrit pagès, a rustic meat stew with chicken, pork, sobrassada, and potatoes. You just try this dish for its bold, hearty flavors that capture the island’s farmhouse traditions.
