How to Make Hearty Maritime Harvest Stew

1. Aromatic Sauté

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add fennel seeds, diced carrots, diced celery, and finely chopped garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

2. Vegetable Simmer

Stir in the thinly sliced leeks, canned chopped tomatoes, and hot fish stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. The vegetables should become tender, and the sauce should thicken and reduce slightly.

3. Seafood Incorporation

Gently add the pollock fillet chunks and scatter the raw shelled king prawns over the top. Let them cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until they are just cooked through, being careful not to overcook the seafood.

Pitfalls and tips

Quality Ingredients

Use the freshest seafood from sustainable sources and in-season, locally grown vegetables for the best flavor.

Building Flavors

Sauté aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery until they're just starting to soften to create a flavorful base.

Seafood Selection

Choose a mix of firm-fleshed fish and shellfish like mussels, clams, or shrimp for varied texture and flavor.

Herbs and Spices

Use fresh herbs like thyme, bay leaves, and parsley, and toast dry spices before adding them to intensify flavors.

Layering Ingredients

Add ingredients in stages, with the longest-cooking items first, and add seafood towards the end to prevent overcooking.
