It’s another fish stew but very different to our last one. This is really easy to throw together, tastes good and very low-calorie and low-fat. We used haddock but you can use whatever white fish you have available. If you like a bit of heat you could add a bit of chilli too.
Spicy Haddock Stew – to serve 4 (or less if you’re very hungry)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp paprika
- 200g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 red pepper, cut into chunks
- 450g haddock or other white fish fillet, cut into chunks
- coriander, roughly chopped
- lemon wedges
Heat the oil in medium-sized saucepan. Add the garlic, cumin and paprika and cook for 1 minute.
Add 100ml water and the tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer.
Add the pepper and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the fish and simmer for a further 5. Don’t be tempted to stir it too much or you’ll break up your fish chunks.
Season well and serve with the coriander, lemon and some crusty bread.
Wine Suggestion: It’s a weeknight and this is a simple dish. If you feel like a glass of wine go for something light and white.

It was light and very tasty
This was quick, easy and well received. I added some fresh green chilli which worked well. I have two hungry men to feed so I found the quantity of fish was not enough. I intend to make it again and would either increase the amount of haddock or chuck in some prawns. Alternatively serving it with rice rather than bread would have made it more filling for them.
Going try making this on the weekend. Sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing.
