[Recipe] Normandy Fish Stew with Mussels


Mmmmmmm what is that!? Well... you'll find out...

Last night, I decided to cook a nice dish for Kristy for the first time. The plan was Normandy Fish Stew. It turned out that we ended up eating dinner fairly late, but nonetheless, we satisfied our stomachs with this delicious dish.

Facts about this dish: "This fish stew from northern France, sometimes called Marmite Dieppoise, is a great comfort food meal"

For those who want to make this "awesome dish" you can follow the recipe linked above, but if you cannot find all those ingredients, I will share with you how you could improvise and still get a good tasting dish that you can serve straight out from your own kitchen. Sound like plan? Ok... you'll need the following:
  • 2lbs mussels , cleaned and debearded (discard any that don't close when tapped on the sink)
  • 500ml white wine (Reisling)
  • large knob of butter
  • 2 leeks , cleaned and sliced (you can even go 3 because typically they come in bunches of 3)
  • 227g sliced white mushrooms
  • 150ml sour cream 14%
  • 2 cod fillet
  • small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Cook it the same way as instructed, and you will get the following results;


Serve it with some soft and heated bread @ 350F for 5 mins, and you're good to go! Pour a glass of red wine if you really want to go all out on this meal :)
