Caldillo de pintarroja

Caldillo de pintarroja is a traditional seafood soup originating from Malaga. It's usually made with a combination of dogfish, garlic, bread, almonds, clams, hot peppers, tomatoes, mint, lemon juice, saffron, wine, olive oil, and salt. The almonds, bread, and garlic are fried until golden, then mixed with cooked and peeled tomatoes, hot peppers, and wine. The fish is boiled separately, and it's then mixed with the rest of the ingredients and saffron. The soup is simmered shortly, and if it becomes too spicy, it's recommended to add a little lemon juice to the pot. Caldillo de pintarroja is especially popular during winter. Originally, it was made in bars for fishermen as a way to sell more beer and wine due to its spiciness.
