Sopa de Pescado is a vibrant and aromatic Spanish fish soup that embodies the essence of coastal culinary traditions. Packed with a medley of fresh seafood, this hearty soup is infused with fragrant saffron and a splash of white wine, creating a warm, inviting dish perfect for family gatherings or cozy dinners. Originating from the Mediterranean region, this dish reflects the rich maritime culture of Spain, where fishermen’s wives would create nourishing meals from the day’s catch.
