This is another example of what we know as “comfort food”. It is commonly eaten in winter but I can’t think of anybody who would say no to this warm stock full of flavours and nutrients at any season. Any Spaniard would be very proud of this dish, but has never been exported yet, no one I know recalls ever seen it abroad.

What makes this recipe truly special is its ability to bring people together. Whether you're hosting a casual Sunday lunch or an elegant dinner party, there's something mesmerizing about bringing a steaming pan of seafood fideua to the table, watching your guests' eyes light up as they discover this lesser-known Spanish treasure.
