Cook's Notes This such a versatile recipe - you can make it with any type of fish you like. Try cod, haddock, coley or basa cut into generous sized chunks. Think about a combination or add some smoked fish for a change. Chuck a few shrimp in for the last couple of minutes to heat through. Mop up those delicious juices with some crusty bread for a really easy meal. |
