Fish goulash
6 servings
40 minutes
Fish goulash is a refined dish that combines the freshness of white fish and the tenderness of tiger shrimp with the rich aroma of tomatoes, white wine, and spices. The thick, rich base of vegetables, tomatoes, and fennel gives the dish a light sweetness and depth of flavor, while olives add a tangy note. The history of this dish is rooted in the traditions of seafood cuisine where fishermen prepared hearty and warming meals from their fresh catch. An ideal choice for dinner on a cool evening, fish goulash pairs wonderfully with crispy baguette or fragrant rice. Its flavor unfolds with each ingredient, creating a harmonious blend of seafood freshness and tomato sauce richness.
