Greek Traditional Seafood Recipes

FISH SOUP

ingredients 2kg fish

240 ml olive oil2 potatoes

1 onion 2 carrots

celeryjuice of three lemons

Method First we clean the fish from the scales., intestines and gills and we wash very well. We put water in a pot to

boil and we add the vegetables cut in small pieces, the onion whole and some salt. When the vegetables are half done we take the pot from the hob and add the fish placing it nicely among the vegetables. There should be enough water to cover the fish. Too much water may make the fish fall apart.

We put the pot back on the hob and add the olive oil, some salt pepper and we boil until the vegetables are soft (about 20 mins). Finally we add the lemon juice and boil for a few more minutes so that the lemon dissolves in the pot.

We remove the fish from the pot and serve with the vegetables.
