The seafood and fish stew is an exquisite dish, a sure success when we want to prepare a special menu. This is a very typical recipe for the coastal towns across Spain. Originally, the fishermen cooked this dish in the same port when returning from fishing, as it allowed them to exploit the fish and seafood they could not sold on the market. Today, we can prepare it with all kinds of fish and seafood according to our preferences, and the result is always spectacular.
