Gary's Super (Bowl) Fish Stew
This delicious fish stew is easy to prepare. It's named for my friend Gary, my local fishmonger. He's always ready with a suggestion and sells only the freshest fish available. This is a great fish stew to try if you've never made one: it's easy, full of flavor, and cooks quickly. It tastes wonderful on a cold winter afternoon. I've been making this stew for the Super Bowl for the last few years, and it disappears fast! Use a good quality wine for the best flavor.
