Ingredients
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
White Fish. I used sea bass; however, in my opinion, the ideal white fish for this recipe is cod or sea bass filet.
Butter and Extra Virgin Olive Oil: For the best flavor, I like to cook the fish stew in a combination of extra virgin olive oil and butter.
Veggies: I used carrot, baby potatoes, and onion.
Flour. It helps in thickening this fish stew.
Seasonings: I use salt, black pepper and smoked paprika.
Parsley. I love to garnish my fish recipes with parsley to lessen the fishy aftertaste the white fish gives off.
Step By Step Instructions
Step one: In a pot, heat butter and oil, add carrots and onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until soft.
Step two: Stir in flour, and then add the potatoes; cook for 1-2 minutes on medium heat.
Step three: Now, add fish stock and bring to a boil; once boiling, add fish, salt, pepper and paprika.
Step four: Cover and simmer for 10-20 minutes, until potatoes are soft. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Top Tips!
- Pat the white fish dry with a paper towel and then season it with salt and pepper to add taste before cooking even begins. This will ensure a more flavorful white fish for the recipe.
- This fish stew recipe is made without tomatoes; however, in most Mediterranean basins like in Italy, the fish stew is added with tomatoes or tomato puree to give the dish an extra flavor. You can do the same!
- Add some chickpeas, carrots or tomatoes to your stew.
- Celery seems a perfect addition to make this dish even more veggie-filled one; since celery is a leafy veggie, it imparts a bland taste with a somewhat earthy flavor.
Recipe FAQs
Of course you can. Just put it in the microwave until piping hot, and the taste and texture will still be the same as if it is freshly out of the pot.
The perfect white fish to use for this recipe is sea bass filet or cod filet, as they have a rich buttery taste that can easily blend well with the rest of the fish stew's ingredients.
Yes, you can. However, it is recommended to thaw it completely before using it.
