Greek Traditional Fish Soup

Greek Traditional Fish Soup
Fish boiled & Fish soup traditional, energizing and for many, very favorite soup with fresh fish.
To have a tasty soup what you need is nothing more than the good fresh fish. Not that it can not be done from frozen fish but definitely fresh is preferred. The dusky grouper, the white grouper, the scorpaena, the European hake, etc. are ideal. Also the smaller fish, those that live near rocks make the best fish soup. You choose any fish or fish combination you like and enjoy it.
It is one of the most delicious and healthy dishes in Greek Cuisine. The shrimp in the current proposal playing the guest star role is not a sine qua non. Fish soup can be made without them… The vegetables are for accompanying this dish. A light dish and if you choose the winter version is a dish of warmth and coziness.
Yours!

Excerpt from the introduction:
«Αναρωτιέμαι συχνά που είναι το απόγειο της μαγειρικής. Είναι τα πιο φρέσκα υλικά, οι πιο πολύπλοκες γεύσεις είναι το καθημερινό ή το σπάνιο; Δεν είναι τίποτε απ΄όλα αυτά. Το απόγειο δεν είναι ούτε η κατανάλωση του φαγητού ούτε το μαγείρεμα, αλλά η προσφορά του φαγητού και η συντροφικότητα…»
