SAFFRON FISH WITH RED PEPPERS AND PRESERVED LEMON
This very flexible recipe is often served by Moroccan Jews and their descendants. Many who moved to France, for example, tend to prepare it with preserved lemons and olives. Others living in Jerusalem, like Danielle Renov, author of "Peas, Love & Carrots" (Mesorah Publications, 2020), might incorporate more spice. (Ms. Renov omits the saffron for Passover.) With the addition of red peppers and tomatoes coming from the Americas, it became the rich Moroccan dish it is today. Traditionally made with white fish, it also works with salmon or shad. Serve this as an appetizer, symbolic of the wish for abundance. Assemble it in the morning and cook it just before serving, or eat the fish at room temperature. For a main course, add quinoa or couscous to soak up the flavorful juices.

Steps:
- Pour 2 cups of boiling water into a bowl and sprinkle with the saffron strands. Use a spoon to press the saffron strands against the side of the bowl to release the flavor. Cover the bowl with a plate and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over low. Add the bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, garlic and cilantro stems, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is transparent.
- Nestle the fish into the vegetables, sprinkle with the paprika, red-pepper flakes (if using), 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the prepared saffron water over everything. (You can do all of this in advance 1 day in advance, and refrigerate until ready to finish.)
- When ready to cook, add the olives and preserved lemon (if using - but if using fresh lemon, that will come in Step 5). Bring the mixture to a boil over high, reduce to low, cover the pan and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, basting the fish every 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro leaves during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Taste for seasoning and serve, setting the fish on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice, if not using the preserved lemon. Serve warm or at room temperature.

The fishermen of Bodega Bay, California shared this favorite, quick and easy recipe with my sister during a Fish Festival. It is one of the best chowders I've had, and my kids love it too! We top with bacon bits and a few shakes of hot sauce for a little spice. Enjoy!

- Measure out 2 cups of the fish stock, setting aside any remaining for future use. If you don't have quite enough stock, add water to the 2 cup mark and return it to the pot with the fish etc.
- Add the Half & Half, stirring it in gently so you don't break up the fish to much. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Allow this mix to simmer another 15-20 minutes.
- At the end of your cooking time, stir in the saffron, more may be added for a richer flavor.
- NOTE: If you desire a thicker chowder, mix a flour and water paste and add to desired consistency. For a thinner chowder, add your leftover fish stock or water.
- Serve hot along with chunks of crusty bread and plenty of butter!
ROCK COD CHOWDER IN SAFFRON-TOMATO BROTH
This brothy chowder is loosely inspired by bouillabaisse, the classic Provençal seafood soup, but it's both simpler and easier on the pocketbook. To go all the way with this dish, drizzle the soup with fresh aioli (or mix mayonnaise with minced fresh garlic and thin with lemon juice). Serve with crusty bread.

Steps:
- Soak the saffron in the boiling water for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Working over the can of tomatoes, break open each tomato, scrape the seeds into the can, and put the seeded tomatoes in a bowl. Squeeze the seeded tomatoes in your hand to break them up thoroughly, then strain the juice from the can into the bowl with the tomatoes. Discard the seeds and set the bowl aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or similar soup pot over medium heat. Add the leek, diced fennel bulb, thyme, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the fennel starts to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the wine. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the stock, tomatoes, potatoes, the saffron and soaking liquid, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the liquid to a boil, partially cover the pot, and lower the heat to maintain a bare simmer. Cook, occasionally skimming the scum off the top, until the potatoes and fennel are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the fish into 1- to 2-inch pieces and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the lemon juice to the soup, then taste and add more lemon juice or salt as needed. Add the fish, along with the fennel fronds if you have them. Cook until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily, 5 to 10 minutes. If necessary, use a spoon to gently break the fish into smaller chunks.
- Serve right away. If you need to reheat, do so gently and briefly to avoid overcooking the fish.

SEAFOOD CHOWDER
This chowder of root-cellar vegetables, clams and fish is one of the easiest and best things to cook for a weekend dinner with family and friends. Use a mixture of butter and the powdered dried seaweed called dulse as the flavored fat in which you sauté the vegetables before deglazing them, and each individual flavor in the resulting stew will pop - from carrot to leek, parsnip to potato, bacon to clam to scallop to fish. The seaweed is a powerful flavor enhancer. You can omit it if you want, but really, you shouldn't.

Steps:
- Put the clams in a large, heavy Dutch oven, add about 4 cups water, then set over medium-high heat. Cover, and cook until clams have opened, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. (Clams that fail to open should be discarded.) Strain clam broth through a sieve lined with cheesecloth or doubled-up paper towels, and set aside. You should have 5 or 6 cups. Remove clams from shells, and set aside as well.
- Rinse out the pot, and return it to the stove. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter, and turn heat to medium-low. Add bacon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pork has started to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove pork from fat, and set aside.
- Add the dulse and the leeks to the fat, and cook, stirring frequently, until the leeks are soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then stir in the carrots, parsnips, potatoes and wine, and continue cooking until wine has evaporated and the vegetables have just started to soften, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add enough clam broth to just cover them, approximately 4 to 5 cups, reserving the rest for another use. Add the thyme and the bay leaves.
- Partly cover the pot, and simmer gently until vegetables are tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the clams into bits about the size of the bacon dice. When the vegetables are tender, add the cream, and stir in the chopped clams and reserved bacon. Add black pepper to taste. Let come to a simmer. (Do not let chowder come to a full boil.) Remove the thyme and the bay leaves, and discard.
- If serving right away, slip the fish fingers into the chowder, place the scallops on the surface and allow them all to cook into translucence in the heat, approximately 5-7 minutes. But chowder improves mightily if it sits overnight to cure. If you have the time, don't add the fish and scallops right away, but allow the chowder to chill in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat it to a bare simmer before adding and cooking them through. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve, garnished with the chopped parsley.
