Dad's Fish Stew

Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup of chopped onions
  • 4 - 6 large garlic cloves, chopped
  •  cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup of fresh chopped tomato (about 1 medium sized tomato)
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 8 oz of clam juice (or shellfish stock)
  • ½ cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon blanc)
  • 1½ lb fish fillets (use halibut, cod, sole, red snapper, sea bass), cut into 2-inch pieces
  • Touch of dry oregano, Tabasco, thyme, pepper
  • Salt

Instructions

1 Heat olive oil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté 4 minutes. Add parsley and stir 2 minutes. Add tomato and tomato paste, and gently cook for 10 minutes or so.

2 Add clam juice, dry white wine, and fish and simmer until fish is cooked through, less than 10 minutes. Add seasoning. Salt to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Serve with sourdough bread with butter and a red ale or a good hefeweizen beer. 

Serves 2 well, or serves 3 with other dishes. 

This is very good.
