I love mock meat. well, some of it anyway. Some mock meat is quite convincing and some do not even attempt realism - just a savory chewy thing. And sometimes, for me, that's enough
But so far I have yet to find a convincing (or tasty) substitute for fish.
On a recent trip to Avila Beach, California, a walk on the pier had me longing for a bouillabaisse type of dish. A quick look at the most popular fisherman's stew recipes called for over 8 oz of fish per serving!
So I set out to create a fisherman's stew recipe with much less fish and lots of vegetables.
This recipe uses 1.5 oz of fish per serving and we soak tofu in clam juice and then add plenty of veggies to round it out.
This (nearly) fishless fisherman's stew recipe is the first of what I am calling "Low-Meat" recipes (yes I know it's fish!). The idea is to take a classic meat animal protein dish - something that just doesn't work well with mock-meat - and use just enough meat to be satisfying. And then enhancing the health quotient with an unreasonable amount of vegetables.
I can hear the purists crying foul (or fowl) - but to them I say, "find yourself a good kelp-based recipe". Meanwhile, please hand me the bread and let me enjoy my 1.5 oz of fish in my first low-meat (or low fish) Fishermans Stew recipe.
