Caldeirada

Caldeirada is a Portuguese and Galician (Northwestern Spain region) fish stew consisting of a wide variety of fish and potatoes, along with other ingredients. A fishermen's stew, the dish has been described as "a fish muddle that varies from town to town and depends on what the fishermen have managed to catch." Caldeirada is similar to other types of fish stew, such as the French bouillabaisse, Greek kakavia, Spanish zarzuela, and Italian cacciucco. One cookbook states that the dish typically consists of "a fifty-fifty mix of lean and oily fish, "along with shellfish such as clams and mussels, and often squid or octopus as well. This recipe uses two kinds of oily fish (such as mackerel, swordfish, or tuna) and two kinds of lean whitefish, (such as cod, monkfish, hake, flounder, and haddock), plus shrimp, mussels in the shell, and squid.
