Seafood Stew Recipe


Fillets of Gilthead Dorado with clams vognole

We've refined this yummy Seafood Stew recipe over the years until we now feel that it's just about perfect. It's really simple to make and doesn't use a huge number of ingredients.
For the fish fillet part we have used Gilthead, a delicious white fleshed Fish which is widely available around the Mediterranean. It's known as Dourade in France, Orato in Italy and Dorado in Spain. All the names reflecting the Golden colour around its Head.
For the Shellfish we chose clams, almejas here in Spain, vongole in Italy and haricot de mer (Sea Beans) in the South of France.
You can follow this recipe to the letter and you will have a wonderfull Seafood Stew, or change anything you fancy - everyone has slightly different tastes and preferences. Another delicious Mediterranean Diet recipe.

Anyway - Good Luck and we hope you enjoy it!

  2. Drain them and keep them warm.
  3. Now - add the shallots, garlic, chillis, lemon juice (and a little of the rind, finely sliced if you like) and most of the coriander (keep some back to sprinkle at the end).
  4. Then reduce the liquid by half.
  5. Add the tomatoes and bring back to the boil.
  6. Add the clams and stir until they have all opened.
  7. Now slake a spoonfull of Cornflour (corn starch) in some cold water and add it little by little until you achieve the desired consistency. It should be quite runny but not watery.
