Evaristo García, owner of Pescaderías Coruñesas, has passed away at the age of 87, according to sources from the company that have said goodbye to him in Twiiter with a "Thank you Boss" .
When he was not yet ten years old, Evaristo García (Combarros, León; 1933) already distributed heavy baskets of fish and shellfish to the bourgeoisie of the Madrid neighborhood of Salamanca and had to go up the stairs because the porters did not let him use the elevator .
The owner of Pescaderías Coruñesas - 3,000 square meters of modern facilities - runs an emporium with 80 employees, an outpost in Mercamadrid and two temples of seafood cuisine in the capital: El Pescador (José Ortega y Gasset, 75), acquired in 1975 at soccer player Veloso, and O'Pazo (Reina Mercedes, 20), incorporated into the property in 1982.
To his more than proven capacity of work, Evaristo García, supplier of the Royal House, has been said to have sold almost a ton of fresh angula weekly.
His entrepreneurial spirit led him to become a reference for his guild. People like him have undoubtedly contributed to Madrid being the first fish market in the country and one of the first in the world.
