Alright, let me see what I can come up with: Have you ever made stew fish before? No? Well, don’t worry – I’ve got you covered. First things first, you’re going to need a fish. And I’m not talking about finding Nemo, okay? Go to your local grocery store and ask for a firm white fish like cod or halibut. Unless you’re feeling adventurous and want to use a fish with a name that sounds like it came straight out of a Harry Potter book, like haddock or monkfish.
Now, the next step is crucial. You need to season that fish like it’s going to prom. I’m talking garlic, onion, thyme, paprika – the whole shebang. And don’t be stingy with the seasoning either. You want that fish to be more flavorful than a Kardashian Instagram post. Once you’ve got that fish all seasoned up, toss it in a pot with some veggies and let it simmer. And voila! You’ve got yourself a delicious stew fish. Just don’t forget to Instagram it and make all your friends jealous.
