Seafood cooking class

What a great class it was me and an American couple learning to make seafood paella. We went to the huge covered farmers market to buy our seafood.

It was a hands-on class and I loved it. I cleaned and ate squid. That was my first time ever doing either.

Fingers crossed, I can remember how to make this at home
