Tuscan Fish Stew Recipe

This Tuscan Fish Stew is a quick way to get big flavors on a weeknight. Typically, we’re not interested in developing weeknight meal recipes, because then we’d have to change our name to One-Pot Hangry. And most one-pot meals just won’t satisfy the sort of hangry that torments us on the daily. But this stew is the Real Deal Holyfield. We’d eat it any day of the week and twice on Sunday. We’d take it home to meet our parents and hang out with our friends then go to the county fair and ride the shoddy rollercoaster till the lap bar breaks and we get flung to our certain deaths. Yes—we’d share out last moments on Earth with this fish stew.

SUCH a hit with our family – only change is we saved the fried herbs, tossed with a little salt, and used as a perfect garnish!

Very good, easy. Cheeses nice counterpoint to wine. Catfish works.
