Quick Easy Fish Stew

Can you make a delicious fish stew with a handful of ingredients? Yes! Our recipe pairs fresh fish fillets with aromatics, white wine and tomato for a quick, easy, and absolutely delicious fish stew!

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups of fresh chopped tomato (about 1 medium sized tomato) OR 1 14-ounce can of whole or crushed tomatoes with their juices
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste (optional)
  • 8 oz of clam juice (or shellfish stock )
  • ½ cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon blanc)
  • 1 ½ pound fish fillets (use a firm white fish such as halibut, cod, red snapper, or sea bass), cut into 2-inch pieces
  • Pinch of dry oregano
  • Pinch of dry thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or more to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Saute the aromatics in olive oil: Heat olive oil in a large, thick-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook a minute more. Add parsley and stir 2 minutes. Add tomato and tomato paste, and gently cook for 10 more minutes or so.

  2. Finish the soup: Add clam juice, dry white wine, and fish. Bring to a simmer, and let simmer until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes apart, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add seasoning — salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and Tabasco. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Serve the stew: Ladle into individual bowls and serve. Great served with crusty bread for dipping in the fish stew broth. Links: Seafood watch
