Morroccan Fish Stew

After the indulgence of the weekend in London a bit of nourishment was required . There was some fish in the reduced section of the supermarket which I have taken to treating as my own little farmers market , makes me sad that ingredients shipped half way round the world can be thrown out .

This is a lovely summery stew can be served with a little cooked cous cous, rice or flat bread
