1 leaf Bay leaves
1/4 cup White wine
1 15-ounce can No salt added diced tomatoes
1/2 cup No salt added vegetable stock
8 ounces Fresh cod (or other whitefish such as rockfish, drum, or halibut)

Recipe Notes

This is a super simple fish stew that is perfect for a weekend dinner party but also great as leftovers for supper during the week.

You can use almost any fish that you want but white fish makes a great stew.  Try cod, drum, rockfish or even flounder filet.  This recipe is great with dried herbs also.  use 1 teaspoon of dried basil and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.

This is perfect with a side salad — something as simple as a vinaigrette or even a great Caesar salad.

"Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonalds? Or do we want to eat without fear, tearing into the local stew, the humble taqueria's mystery meat, the sincerely offered gift of a lightly grilled fish head? I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once."
