Simmer gently 12 minutes. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon. Remove the skin and bones from the fish and add to the pot. Set the fish aside.

3. Heat the oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and ginger and sauté gently until garlic colors lightly, 30 seconds. Add the stock, pepper flakes, lemon juice and tomato paste. Return the fish to the pot. Heat until the stock is steaming. Add the tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

I love the fish broth part of this stew. It was simple to make, and made the entire stew extremely enjoyable. I cooked some baby red potatoes, quartered, in the broth when it was simmering to be reduced. I also added cooked lima beans to the stew. However, the stew would be delicious as is. - 7/18/11
