This is a very flavorful stew. I didn't change a thing. Nice rich broth. The sausage really adds to its good taste. My family loved it. Will make this again. Thanks, Denise Chase!

I usually make the Sicilian Seafood Stew from this site, but tried this for a little variety. It was excellent. Changes I made due to what I had on hand and personal preference were: green pepper instead of red, sweet sausage instead of hot, 2 cans of stewed tomatoes for 2 of the cans of diced and cod for the fish. This makes a nice thick stew. We did not put it over pasta, but that would be a good way to stretch it to feed more people. I was tempted to omit the sausage because it didn't sound appealing, but it turned out to be an important ingredient in the overall flavor. Great recipe!
