Fish Stew

Ever since I can remember, I’ve always liked fish. Many children lifted their nose 👃 at it while I was always curious to try a new kind. My father wasn’t a fisherman, but occasionally, he went on fishing trips with his friends. Whatever he caught, he brought back home and cooked a delicious meal with his prize.
 
When David and I moved in together, my now-husband was a “meat & potato” kind of guy. Occasionally, he enjoyed seafood, but he rarely ordered fish. Me, on the other hand, I always had weekly fish on my menu, and after moving in with him, I was lucky 🍀 to enjoy it once a month unless we were out at a restaurant.
 
The only fish recipe that we enjoyed often was one of his creations: his delicious Pacific Coast Salmon on the BBQ. I had to do something, so I slowly started incorporating more types of fish 🐟 into our menu while using different methods to serve them. Now, I can say that David and I eat fish more regularly…
 
I first started by making 👩‍🍳 my Panko Breaded Fish and Cornflake Crusted Fish, followed by Mediterranean Fish Fillet with Tapenade, Beer Battered Fish (which was an easy one for him to like 🍺), Red Snapper en Papillote, then Grilled Marlin, Filet-O-Fish Sandwich (another good one for my picky husband), and so on, including this featured one… Fish Stew!
 
What an easy and flavorful dish to make! The beauty of this Fish Stew recipe is you can use your favorite white fish. I use either red snapper, cod, halibut, sea bass, or even sole, although it can be “delicate”. The secret to keeping the pieces intact is to stir the mixture very gently and let them cook for 5 minutes ⏰ undisturbed.
 
Many times, I buy 🛒 fish from a big box store that comes in large quantities. After using some, I freeze the rest using my kitchen trick to prevent the fillets from freezer burn. Sometimes, they can be there for a couple of months, so that’s when I make this recipe. It’s a good one to use up your leftovers. There are other recipes that are good for using leftovers as well like Bouillabaisse, Cioppino, Brudet, Cotriade, Kakavia, Caldeirada, etc.
 
With a beautiful aroma of fresh ingredients and spices, this Fish Stew is perfect to make anytime. In less than 40 minutes, you can have a gorgeous meal ready to serve with crusty bread 🍞. It should certainly be on your menu rotation.
Bon Appétit!🍽
