directions

  • Fish Marinade:

  • Mix juice of 2 limes and salt in a glass or plastic bowl - lay your fish in the bowl and try to cover as much as possible. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • While marinating - heat oil in your soup pot - saute onions and peppers until onions are opaque. Add Garlic and saute for another minute. Add tomatoes and let simmer for approximately 10 minutes or until tomatoes have reduced somewhat.
  • Stirr in coconut milk and fish including the marinade, old bay seasoning and pepper. Do not add any more salt - this recipe borrows its salt from the fish and the "old bay" seasoning. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until fish is cooked and chunked apart.
  • Serve.

  1. This is such an amazing and unique, but simple stew. It was fairly quick, chopping the tomatoes took a little while though. I did not peel them, nor did I seed them. I used a yellow bell pepper and instead of Old Bay, I used seasoning salt. I added in some carrots and a bit of kale. Everyone agreed they were a lovely plus. I served it with sweet rice bread with a smear of coconut oil and a sprinkle of salt. I would love to make this again soon; thank you so much!
     
  2. I have never made fish stew before, so I was very skeptical. It turned out WONDERFUL!! I thought the coconut milk would not work for us, it's a lot and without any broth, I thought my family would not like it, but it worked great and everyone loved it, even my 6 yr. old :) I did overcook my fish, but that was my fault. Served with a homemade crusty French bread and my husband ate his over rice as well. Thanks for a fantastic first fish stew experience!!
     
  3. 57 carbs per serving is not what I call low carb. I'll pass on this one.
     
  4. This is a classic Brazilian Moqueca recipe and it's very versatile. It's so healthy and flavorful. Give it a try if you've never had Moqueca. We served this with Portuguese sweet bread for dipping. Lovely!

Hi and thank you for visiting my about me page... I have 2 very handsome sons that are my pride and joy. My partner is the man i was to marry when i was 18 years old - unfortunately we got cold feet and i moved away - we have reunited after searching for each other for 25 years and are making our home in Calgary - we are eventually going to make it to the altar. Our rescue dog Nikki and my son's Cat Saichel are our fur babies. I was the lucky recipient of a premium membership donated by a very generous chef here at Zaar and to show my appreciation i have tried to continue to fulfill my responsibilities to ensure premimum membership continues. However, I have run into a little snag but am working on it. I am looking forward to the day when I can reciprocate and offer someone else the joy of premium. Pet peeves in life are inconsiderate & ignorant people & slow drivers. Life goes by fast - why not drive the same speed......
