The second course to the table is traditionally served after the soup – in other words, the main ones are the “second” dishes that are familiar to us, which are the central element of the meal. Most often, the main second course is prepared from meat, poultry, fish and seafood, to which cooked or raw vegetables, legumes, cereals, pasta and mushrooms are necessarily served as a side dish.
Fish or meat main dishes are the most satisfying, nutritious and large in volume. For every day, modern chefs, as a rule, serve simple main dishes that are easy to prepare.

“Fideua” comes from Valencia, a variation on the theme of paella, but with vermicelli instead of rice. You can taste it all year round in almost any restaurant in Spain, and each hostess, as expected, has its own recipe. Someone cooks with a thinner vermicelli, someone with a thicker one, with peeled shrimps or whole ones, with squid or cuttlefish… But one thing is always present here — an indescribable feeling of the sea!
