For the stew, you'll need a variety of fish, such as cod, salmon, or haddock. Make sure to choose sustainably sourced fish for a healthier and more eco-friendly meal.

Cooking the Mediterranean Fish Stew

Kick-off the cooking process by heating some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. This will infuse the oil with its delicious aroma.

Next, add the potatoes and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften. Then, add the bell peppers and tomatoes, followed by the fish stock and white wine. Bring it to a gentle simmer and let the flavors meld together.

Now, it's time to add the fish to the stew. Make sure to cut it into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. Gently place the fish into the pot and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Finally, stir in the olives, lemon zest, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The stew is now ready to be served!

To make it a complete meal, you can serve the Mediterranean Fish Stew with some crusty bread or steamed rice. Enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean right in your own kitchen!
