A clean-tasting frozen pollock stew enhanced with fresh seafood flavor from clams and warty sea squirts, using a rich anchovy broth where salt is added first to prevent the fish flesh from breaking apart.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding sea salt at the beginning of cooking helps proteins coagulate, preventing the frozen pollock flesh from falling apart during simmering.
  • Thoroughly clean the blood trapped inside the frozen pollock bones and carefully remove the gills to ensure no fishy odor remains in the broth.
  • Avoid adding too much soy sauce, as it can make the broth cloudy and dark; use only 1 tablespoon and adjust seasoning with clean sea salt if needed.

Recommended for

  • Those curious about the fundamental technique for well cooking frozen pollock without the flesh breaking apart.
  • People seeking a refreshingly crisp and clean broth with absolutely no fishy odor that feels instantly soothing.
  • Those wanting a deeper seafood flavor by combining clams and warty sea squirts for a richer, more complex taste.
