What kind of dish is this?
This is a Croatian stew made from seafood, olive oil, wine and tomatoes.
There are many similar dishes around the Mediterranean, including French bouillabaisse.
Name
Brodet=fish soup etc
※The name changes depending on the region.
History
Boiled fish dishes exist all over the world.
Croatian one is characterized by using olive oil and wine.
In the 5th century BC, Greek pioneers began cultivating olive oil and wine in Croatia, as well as introducing fish recipes.
Also, the cookbook of the 5th century says, “Stew with spices and herbs.”
The details are unknown, but it is certain to have a long history.
By the way, tomatoes came to be used for cooking in the 17th and 18th centuries, so I think the modern style was born at this time.
Other
Many recipes recommended using at least three types of seafood and low-fat fish.
But, there are no rules for ingredients, as the dish is basically made with ingredients that were available at the time.
I can’t eat crustaceans, so I made this dish with yellowtail, salmon and cod.
It’s hard to express in words how I feel about this dish…
