Rich seafoody-broth with praise worthy mussels and huge prawns! It was a flavoursome carb. We got the big portion, shared among 5 and feeds just nice, especially if you're having the tapas and desserts. As for the 'charcoal' bit... sad to say it was kinda dropped in the taste profile. Perhaps it was just a reference to the charcoal pan in which it was served... (?) This was my first seafood paella and therefore, no prior reference to benchmark against. Shall try the squid ink version next time! Excited to find out how it compares to FOC's.
