About Veracruz fish stew

Veracruz Fish Stew is a flavorful dish rooted in Mexican coastal cuisine, inspired by the vibrant flavors of the Veracruz region. It features tender white fish, such as snapper or cod, simmered in a savory tomato-based broth enriched with onions, garlic, olives, capers, and mild spices. Sometimes, additional vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini are included for extra nutrients. This stew is naturally low in fat and high in lean protein, making it a heart-healthy option. Rich in vitamins A and C from tomatoes and peppers, as well as omega-3 fatty acids from the fish, it supports overall health and wellness. However, the sodium level may be elevated due to olives and capers, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation or with low-sodium adaptations. This dish delivers robust flavors with a nutritious profile, ideal for those seeking a wholesome yet indulgent meal.
