Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (2 -3 lb) whole red snapper, scaled and gutted
1 medium onion, quartered
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 serrano chili, halved
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
8 whole black peppercorns
kosher salt
2 red snapper fillets (from the whole snapper)
8 corn tortillas, cut into 1/2 inch strips
vegetable oil, for frying
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lime, juiced, plus lime wedges for garnish
1 medium onion, sliced, for garnish
4 ripe tomatoes, cut into chunks, for garnish
2 ripe avocados, peeled and cut into chunks, for garnish
cilantro leaf, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the stock:.
  • Remove the fillets from the fish (or have your fishmonger do it), wrap them, and set them aside in the refrigerator. Rinse the carcass well with water, chop it into 3 pieces, and place it in a stock pot.
  • Add the onion, garlic, serrano, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Add cold water to cover the ingredients by 1-inch and put the pot over medium-high heat.
  • Bring it to a boil, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and discard the solids, season it with salt. Makes about 6 to 7 cups stock.
  • For the tortillas:
  • Heat about 1/2-inch vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cut the tortillas into 1/2-inch wide strips. Fry the tortilla strips in batches and drain them on paper towels; season with salt and pepper while they are still hot.
  • For the fish:
  • Drizzle the fish filets with olive oil and lime juice and season with some salt. Cover the fish and put it back in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 15 minutes but no longer than 1 hour.
  • For the soup:
  • Heat the stock to simmering. Slice the marinated fish into thin strips. Place 3 pieces of fish into the bottom of a large soup bowl. Top with some onion, tomato, avocado, and cilantro leaves. Ladle in the hot stock and squeeze in a lime wedge. Top with tortilla strips and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, white fish: For a flaky and tender texture, select firm-fleshed white fish such as cod, haddock, or tilapia.
  • Prep the fish properly: Before cooking, rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps remove any impurities and ensures the fish cooks evenly.
  • Use a flavorful broth: A flavorful broth is the key to a delicious fish soup. Use a combination of vegetable broth, chicken broth, or seafood broth for a rich base.
  • Add vegetables for nutrition and flavor: Vegetables not only add nutritional value but also enhance the flavor of the soup. Common vegetables used in fish soup include onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Season well: Don't be afraid to season your soup generously. A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika works well. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
  • Simmer gently: Once the soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the fish to cook through without overcooking.
  • Add the fish last: Add the fish fillets to the soup towards the end of the cooking time, about 5-7 minutes before serving. This prevents the fish from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Garnish before serving: For a finishing touch, garnish the soup with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Tortilla fish soup is a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its combination of tender fish, flavorful broth, and colorful vegetables, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Experiment with different types of fish and vegetables to create your own unique variation of this classic recipe.
