To prepare this recipe you will need a 17 inch (144cm) paella pan. Due to the size of the pan, we recommend that you cook the fideua on a kettle BBQ for even heat distribution. Assemble all the ingredients and kitchen equipment on a table near the BBQ, so that you can stay in the area and monitor the cooking.

Before performing the preparation tasks, light the BBQ. When the coals are covered in white ash, cooking can begin.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb. fish, such as tunny, halibut or shark
  • 6 cups of fish or shrimp stock
  • 1/2 lb. large shrimp
