A quick version of the traditional Puerto Rican fish stew, this Bacalao uses fresh fish instead of salt cod which needs to sit and soak overnight. Bacalao, salted dried codfish, is the defining ingredient in traditional Puerto Rican fish stew, but salt cod requires overnight soaking and several rinses in cool water before it can be used, so we opt for fresh fish in this quick version. Serve with crusty rolls to soak up the juices.
