What goes into zuppa di pesce?
It’s open to interpretation but I like the combination I came up with for this version: shrimp and sea scallop, and I sometimes add tilapia or other white fish.
Include any sturdy fish or shellfish you wish in this stew, such as mussels, clams, or cod. And enjoy a bowl of this seafood stew with crusty bread.
Other than the seafood?
Honestly, not much. Seafood stock or chicken broth, red potato, corn, red pepper, and fresh parsley.
How do I make zuppa di pesce?
Add cold water, stock, Old Bay seasoning, and salt in a large pot or a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil and taste. Then stir in the potato and corn, cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potato is tender. Add the shrimp and scallops and cook for 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Sprinkle with red pepper and fresh parsley just before serving.
Can I modify this recipe?
Yes! You can add onion, bay leaf, bell pepper, white wine, or even clam juice to make the broth more flavorful. The key is fresh seafood and cooks it the night before to allow all the different flavors mix in the broth.
