''fidáwš'') is a seafood dish originally from the coast of Valencia that is similar to paella, and even more so to arròs a banda, but with pasta noodles instead of rice. Its main ingredients are pasta noodles (often hollow), fish (rockfish, monkfish, cuttlefish, squid), and shellfish (''Squilla mantis'', shrimp, crayfish). It is seasoned mainly with lemon. History The invention of fideuà is attributed to a picturesque story.
