FAQ

What fish work best for this Tuscan fish stew?
Firm white fish such as cod, haddock, sea bass, or monkfish; any flaky white fish will do.
Can I use canned tomatoes or tomato paste?
Yes—crushed canned tomatoes or tomato passata work well; fresh tomatoes are fine when in season.
How long does it take to cook and when is the fish done?
About 25–30 minutes in total; add the fish near the end and simmer 8–12 minutes until it flakes and is opaque.
Should I remove bones or skin from the fish?
Check fillets for pin bones and remove them; skin can be left on or removed depending on preference.
What other vegetables can I add or swap?
Good options include onions, garlic, zucchini, bell pepper, spinach, or kale; keep the base simple.
Is this dish gluten-free and dairy-free?
Yes. It naturally contains no gluten or dairy.
How should leftovers be stored and reheated?
Refrigerate in an airtight container within 2 hours; use within 1–2 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
Can I freeze leftovers?
You can freeze cooked leftovers, but texture may change; best within 1–2 months. Thaw before reheating.
What should I serve it with?
Crusty bread, polenta, or steamed greens make a nice accompaniment.
