Thick Fish Soup "A La Vatersay" Recipe
Traditional Belgian fish stew (waterzooi), previously considered the food of fishermen who could not afford the means they caught. This is a thick, rich fish soup with vegetables, egg yolks and cream. Compose: "A la", because there are many "experts" of cooking on the site who will protect the authenticity of the recipe. I did without digressions, since I did not have all the necessary products available. But the taste didn't get any worse. It is very fragrant and delicious!

  1. We clean the fish and cut it into portions. I decided not to fillet the fish so that it would not fall apart.

  2. Fill the fish with water, lay out a bouquet of side dishes, add salt. Bring to a boil, remove the foam and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the fish is ready. As soon as the flavor of the seasonings disappears, I recommend removing them so as not to oversaturate the broth with them.
