Chile ◦ Food | Paila Marina: A Seafood Stew that Captures the Essence of the Sea

by YU-LING

I once believed that the owners of Taiwanese seafood restaurants, the sushi chefs in Japan, and the cooks at Spanish and Portuguese seafood restaurants were the best experts in preparing seafood in the world. Now, Chileans have joined their ranks!

Chile's long coastline offers a uniquely favorable environment, bringing with it an abundant and diverse range of marine resources. Here, one should not miss Chile's traditional delicacy—the Paila Marina, a seafood stew. A generous assortment of fresh shellfish and fish is slow-cooked in a clay pot, creating a richly aromatic and flavorful soup. Taking a sip, you will taste the sweet and savory essence of the ocean, providing a delightful dining experience that showcases the finest offerings from the sea.
