Recipe Introduction


yields two portions, recipe may be doubled
In memory of all the Irish who traveled across the Celtic Sea to settle in the city now known as Chicago, I've created this delicious and highly nutritious fish stew. The color of this dish echoes the green, white, and orange of the Irish flag and is linked to the Celtic region of Gallecia where Celtic tribes have been found for thousands of years and continue to flourish.
