Warm up a cold evening with this rich fisherman’s stew

Beef stew is a breeze; just add ingredients and cook until done. Seafood, however, doesn’t do so well under benign neglect. It’s too delicate to bubble for a couple of hours on the stove. Still, that’s no reason to shy away from its use in stews. Whether it’s a tomato or coconut base, a seafood stew’s success rests in adding the fish at the end and cooking it just right—not too long, not too short.
