Essential ingredient

In response to my item about our arroz con pollo I have received the following email:-

Si le interesa hacer la paella, sabe necesita
un caldo de pescado. Nada mejor que nuestro fumet.
Con un solo kilo, puede hacer 7 u 8 litros de caldo,
lo hacemos con pescado de roca.
Un kilo se vende por 16,50 euros y podemos mandar
(es congelado) en toda la provincia y también por
correo en España. Mínimo son dos kilos.

Of course they are right - a good paella is made with stock as opposed to water. What these people are offering is concentrated frozen fish stock which will make up 7 to 8 litres of liquid which would be enough for 7 or more of my four person servings.

I know that some recipes for chicken paella advise using chicken stock which you can make from stock cubes.
