In Catarroja (a town in the metropolitan area of València), they love allipebre so much that every year since 1971 they hold a contest to find the best one.
Allipebre is a traditional recipe made with eel, potatoes, olive oil, garlic, chili pepper, paprika, and water. It's very typical of the Horta area of the Valencian Country.
The contest is celebrated annually on the first Saturday of the 2nd half of September in Catarroja's port. There can be up to 150 participants, all of them non-professional.
