What dishes can I prepare with seafood fumet?
Our seafood fumet is incredibly versatile and you can use it in multiple recipes in addition to the traditional fideuá:
Seafood paella – The essential base for rice full of marine flavor.
Soupy or creamy rice – Perfect for enhancing fish and seafood stews.
Suquets and casseroles – Give depth to traditional dishes like suquet de peix.
Soups and creams – From fish soup to seafood cream.
What is the difference between a seafood fumet cooked over a wood fire and other industrial broths?
The difference is abysmal. While industrial broths usually use artificial extracts and enhancers, at El Paeller we follow the traditional recipe:
🔸 We cook over a wood fire, which enhances the aromas and gives that inimitable smoky touch.
🔸 We use fresh ingredients, without concentrates or added chemicals. For example: galera, salmorreta (crushed tomato, tomato and acidulant: citric acid), dried garlic, sweet paprika), crab, EVOO, prawn head /alistado and salt.
🔸 We respect the cooking times, achieving a broth with depth and real flavor.
Our seafood fumet is the perfect option for those looking for authenticity in their dishes.
What is the difference between our seafood fumet in glass and our seafood broth in a can
The main difference is in the ingredients. The wood-fired seafood fumet in glass has galley, crab and shrimp head. It has more of a seafood flavor, so it is ideal for more intense flavors. On the other hand, our canned seafood broth incorporates, in addition to galley, crab and shrimp head/shrimp, a contribution of whitebait and a combination of onion, leek and carrot. This contribution of vegetables softens the power of the seafood and offers a more balanced flavor.
Where do the ingredients come from?
At El Paeller we bet on local products. For this reason, the seafood we use to make our broths comes from the Mediterranean, respecting natural cycles and guaranteeing quality and sustainability in each can.
