Fideuà de Peix (Fish Noodle Paella) (Andorra)

Fideuà de Peix is a popular seafood dish from Andorra, akin to paella but using short noodles instead of rice. It encapsulates the flavor of the sea and is a communal, joyous meal traditionally cooked in a large pan known as a 'paellera'. This dish features a variety of seafood like shrimp, squid, and fish, cooked with aromatic vegetables, and fideuà noodles that absorb all the wonderful flavors of the fish broth and spices like saffron and paprika. After the ingredients are sautéed and simmered together, it is finished in the oven to achieve a crunchy top layer. Enjoy it with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a side of aioli for an authentic Andorran experience.
