  • Season the snapper well: Season the snapper generously with salt, pepper, and other desired spices before cooking. This will help enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your snapper stew. Common choices include onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and bell peppers. You can also add leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, towards the end of cooking.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is an important part of any stew, so make sure to use a flavorful one. You can use fish stock, chicken stock, vegetable broth, or even coconut milk. If using water, be sure to season it well.
  • Simmer the stew gently: Once the stew comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the fish to cook through without becoming tough.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice: Snapper stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that pairs well with crusty bread or rice. You can also serve it with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.
