If you’re Catholic in St. Louis, you know that fish fries are a THING. And I’d never tell you to go an entire season without some hush puppies for a good cause, but most fish fries aren’t exactly healthy. Luckily, I’ve got an easy fish recipe for a Friday night.
A far cry from deep-fried catfish, this fish recipe simmers in a flavorful tomato broth. It tastes delicious over rice or quinoa, and you can keep it simple by heating up a bag of frozen veggies.
In the words of Montell Jordan, this is how we do it.
