SPICY FISH STEW



Spicy Fish Stew image

This is spicy, tasty and easy. Adapted from 'A Spoonful of Ginger', one of my favorite Nina Simonds cookbooks. The original calls for cod, I use orange roughy, and I also cut down the amount of red onions for my family's taste....add more if you like. This is good with steamed rice and crusty bread.
