SPICY FISH STEW

Fish is one of my favorite ingredients to cook with (Yes, I’ve said it thousands of times at least). Fish cooks quickly and when made into a stew like this, it feeds the whole family. My only concern about buying fish lately is where the fish comes from. I tried to get farmed and wild-caught fish from the U.S. and its surrounding. Often time, they cost more than the one comes from Asia too. But, I don’t mind paying more if I know it is safe and sustainable. Okay, let’s get back to the food. This spicy fish stew (not crazy spicy) is super easy to make and don’t let the red color scares you. It’s the color of Hungarian hot paprika (which isn’t THAT hot) and tomato paste you all !! 😉 I love the flavor and that touch of dill at the end just seal the deal.
