Learn how to make a Tuscan Fish Stew When you hear the word stew you dont usually think of fast, easy, and light, but this Tuscan Fish Stew is all those things and more Christian V.: And as alwaaaaaaays, another great video recipe. Chef John makes this all look so easy because he has been cooking for a very long time and has fantastic skills and technique. But, be cautious. It is exceptionally easy to completely overcook seafood, especially halibut and/or shrimp when using the poaching method. Overcooked, poached shrimp are very tough and rubbery with little to no flavor whatsoever. Needless to say, it would be very disappointing, to say the least, to turn your beautiful 25/lb halibut and gorgeous shrimp into little more than rubber erasers. So, here's a pro hack. Pan sear the fish and the shrimp in a screaming hot pan (separately from one another) with some high smoke point oil such as EV olive oil or avocado oil. Do not cook the halibut all the way through. Sear only long enough to put some color on the fish. Add the seared fish to the hot broth straight from the pan and let the residual heat from the broth finish cooking the fish. Depending on their size, the shrimp could prove to be difficult to sear without cooking all the way. The smaller the shrimp, the more difficult this will be. But, if you have good, large shrimp, sear them to just short of done like the halibut and add them to the broth just prior to service. Otherwise, finish the shrimp in the pan and add to the broth just prior to service. The pan sear on the seafood will add a beautiful, rich, nutty flavor to the dish that will be simply gorgeous.

So, I tried to make this stew with what I had in the pantry/freezer/fridge. I had Cod, Frozen shrimp, (after all. I'm the Poseidon of Decidin. so I went for it. Minus the anchovy, I had the basics and it turned out to be one of the better impromptu meals I've made. My wife wants to ask where I got the recipe. I told her I just threw it together. Thanks for making me look like a stud

I really want to try this. My question is, why does everyone leave the tail on their shrimp? I get it in shrimp cocktail or other finger foods but why would you leave the tail on in something like this? This doesnt seem like something youd be digging your fingers into. Is the tail actually edible? Im 53 years old. Tell me this isnt something I shouldve been eating my whole life?

Any possibility to lessen the question format of every sentence? Older videos don't have it as pronounce. Like watching your videos on the TV but for whatever reason it annoyes my gf and is the first thing people notice when I show those who have not seen your vids. Understand if the answer is no/ignore heh. Anyway love your videos and recipes

Actually, John, although it is in a broth, overcooked seafood can become dried up and rubbery, not because it has lost water (after all, the liquid released is liquefied blood proteins interspersed in the flesh, but because it becomes denatured by the heat, which is natural but, if overcook, can become too stiff.

I made this last night. Used vine ripened tomatoes and dried herbs (but a significant amount of fresh basil. Also, Tilapia was on sale and shrimp was on hand. It turned out INCREDIBLE. Like, I would order it at a restaurant. This one goes on the good list, possibly even doable at catering scale. Thanks Chef

I make a lovely tomato and fish soup that my son and his friends just adore. Your Stew reminds me a bit of it. I created that soup when I was to lazy to go shopping and used what I had in the kitchen, like fish, passata, chopped tomatoes, garlic. I used a vegetable cube and it works so well.

I made this tonight and it was amazing, and my husband and two 3 year olds agreed. I added baby potatoes cut in half with the tomato juice and they cooked through perfectly and served it with a side of corn on the cob. I already can't wait to make it again.

Garlic, unless used very sparingly, overpowers any dish it's added to. I do not understand why so many professional chefs use it with reckless abandon in nearly every recipe. I don't want everything I eat to taste like the daily special at Olive Garden.

Im sure that this recipe is good, but I will probably never make this because the tomato clam juice broth reminds me of a fruit smoothie my grandmother used to make me, and the whole time I was just thinking about cooking seafood in a fruit smoothie.
