(Elise’s) Dad’s Fish Stew Recipe

March 31, 2008 | Filed Under Soup/Chowder/Gumbo, Seafood 

 

I found this super easy and delicious fish stew recipe on Simply Recipes.  A recipe by Elise’s dad, called out to me,  "Make me!  Make me!"  And make it, I did.

Elise suggests different types of fish to use like halibut, cod, sole, red snapper, sea bass, and white fish like cod, tilapia or sole.  However, I had a craving for salmon, so that’s what I used instead.  I loved my fish stew.  As Elise points out, the clam juice is the key ingredient that makes the dish extra tasty.  For those allergic to shellfish, Elise suggests using white wine, fish stock or water instead of the clam juice.

I’m going to make this fish stew AGAIN and next time, I think I’ll use red snapper.  I’m craving red snapper, now.  ;-)  Elise’s thanks for sharing your dad’s recipe and please thank him for me.

    That looks delicious, Paz. I get cravings for salmon, too — and of course the color is so lovely.
