Chiringuito Seafood Paella

Come summer, the Spanish flock to the water with the determination of fish. Awaiting them on the beach are chiringuitos, humble seaside establishments that are to the Spanish coast what clam shacks are to New England. There is usually a pretty terraza with a view of the sea and a menu that revolves around salt-baked fish, lacy fried baby squid, clams in salsa verde, and, invariably, a simple but irresistible mixed seafood paella, such as this one.
