With the dual blessing of fresh fish caught locally and fresh veggies from the Farmer’s Markets, it is time to make Spicy Fish Stew. I like this better than chowder and you can vary the ingredients according to what you have on hand. Normally I put potatoes and celery in this but for this recipe I skipped them but added finely diced red peppers and a dash of red pepper flakes for extra spice.

In kettle sauté 2 medium onions, diced, and 1 red pepper, chopped fine, and 1 sliced carrot in a little olive oil until just tender. Add 4-5 firm, garden-fresh tomatoes peeled and cut in chunks. Add 1 ½ lbs. haddock or cod cut in bite-sized chunks and simmer until just opaque. If you want to add small scallops they make a fine addition.

Add one large can of diced tomatoes in puree, 1 tsp. thyme (if you have fresh thyme you may add more), 1 tsp. red pepper flakes (more or less to taste), 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, and ½ c. dry white wine. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Serve.

This recipe is from my cookbook, Fry Bacon, Add Onions, my cookbook/memoir of growing up Pennsylvania Dutch.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. — It’s 6 a.m. on a Wednesday at Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester, and 80 or so groggy athletes come stumbling over the wooden bridge and over the dunes. Their half-open eyes look toward the harbor, which is covered in a pea soup fog. The horizon’s a seamless coat of gray, merging sea [...]
