    I just made this, very easy and really good. I followed the recipe exactly. When my husband says "this isn't bad", I know I've got a winner!

    Nice dish. Subtle flavors but good and hearty. Kids loved it too. Was a little soupier than I'd have liked. Cod is one of my favorite but it has a high liquid content. Next time will pump up the garlic and onion for more kick and use a wine/stock mix instead of just stock. Keep them coming Martha!

    I wonder if I could do this with a lighter fish, say, tilapia or snapper.

    This came out really well. It reminded me of a seafood stew I had in Ireland actually. Really nice paired with couscous!
