Fish stew
A fish stew is a thick soup or stew made with fish or seafood. The first fish stews were probably made by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Fish stews were also popular in medieval Europe and in the American Colonies.
Today, fish stews are enjoyed all over the world. They can be made with any type of fish or seafood, and they can be as simple or as complicated as you like.
One of the most famous fish stews is bouillabaisse, a French dish made with fish, shellfish, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs. Another popular fish stew is cioppino, an Italian-American dish made with fish, shellfish, tomatoes, and wine.
Advice
Making a delicious fish stew is easier than you may think. Start by preparing the vegetables of your choice and then sautéing them in a large pot with butter or oil. Once the vegetables are cooked, add in your favorite fish and any other ingredients such as herbs and spices. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a heartier stew, add potatoes and carrots to the mix. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy your tasty fish stew!
