The Mediterranean Hake Stew with Potatoes is a very affordable dish. Great tasting food is easy to cook and is also healthy.

Comments:

There are fish stews with potatoes and tomatoes in every country around the Mediterranean. This one is herby, aromatic and slightly peppery. To balance the flavors, start with just a little harissa or chilli powder and add more lately if you wish. Use any white fish such as cod, haddock or turbot.
