How to make Spicy Fish Stew (Chraime)

Tips from the cook

  • Cook the tomato paste for about 3 minutes, so it loses its raw taste.
  • Let the sauce cook for 25 minutes before adding the fish, so the flavours deepen.
  • Keep the heat low once the fish is in, so it stays in pieces and does not toughen.
  • Add the lemon juice off the heat, so it tastes fresh.
