Spicy Seafood Stew (1).jpeg

This recipe calls for a mussels, littlenecks, and any firm white fish. Some suggestions for fish include (but are not limited to) sea robin, monkfish, haddock, black sea bass, halibut, tautog, pollock, or John dory. You could also add in additional shellfish such as slipper limpets (an Eating with the Ecosystem favorite species. We suggest briefly steaming them and removing them from the shell before adding them to the stew).

This recipe is honestly one of my new favorites! It feel rich and decadent and is easy to make. This recipe is perfect for any type of local flounder such as grey sole, winter flounder, yellowtail flounder, summer flounder, american plaice, or dabs! I’ve also tried it with tautog and black sea bass and baked it vs broiling it and kept it in the oven for longer until the fish was flakey when I poked a fork into it. Make sure you have lots of bread for dipping in the sauce too.

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine

  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • 3 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped or 1 1/2 teaspoon dried

  • dash cayenne pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Place fish in salt water brine (4 cups of water mixed with 1/4 cup of salt) and let it soak for 30 minutes. Wash well, then rinse and pat dry with paper towels.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a small saucepan melt butter or margarine and stir in lemon juice, parsley, chives, dill, and cayenne, and salt lightly to taste.

Cut fillets into serving size pieces and place it in a lightly oiled baking dish. Pour butter and herb mixture over fillets. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake uncovered for about 8 to 10 minutes or until fish begins to flake. 

Transfer fish to a warm serving platter. Boil pan juices until reduced to about 1/4 cup and pour over warm fish. Serve immediately.
