Croatian Fish Stew

July 18

I can never understand when people say the don’t like seafood. I absolutely love it and wish more people would give it a chance, especially with the abundance of world class fish available in Ireland. This fish stew is something I had in Croatia but can absolutely be replicated at home.

  2. 2. Fry the garlic and onion for 5-6 minutes until just tender. Add the tomato purée, tomatoes and potatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes. Pour in the stock and simmer gently for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are close to being tender.
  3. 3. Stir through the seabass, monkfish, prawns and mussels and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook for another 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Discard any unopened mussels.
  4. 4. Season to taste, divide into four bowls, sprinkle with flat leaf parsley and serve with crusty bread.
