Best Fideua
in Barcelona
Fideua is the legendary Catalan noodle counterpart to the traditional seafood paella. It is prepared in a wide, flat pan called a 'paella', using short, thin noodles instead of the typical rice. The dish is cooked in a rich, dark fish fumet that has been slow-simmered with various Mediterranean catches for maximum flavor. It is traditionally topped with fresh prawns, cuttlefish, and mussels, and served with a side of pungent garlic allioli. A high-quality version features noodles that have been slightly toasted to achieve a signature nutty aroma and firm texture.
