Dogfish And Whiting Soup Recipes

TRADITIONAL DOGFISH SOUP

Steps:

• Season the dogfish with olive oil, grated garlic, pepper, paprika, chopped coriander and bay leaf. Let marinate about 30 minutes.
• In a saucepan, pour the water seasoned with salt and a peeled onion and bring to a boil over high heat. When starts boiling, reduce to medium-low heat and add the dogfish steaks with the marinade. Cook for about 15 minutes.
• When the dogfish is cooked, remove it with a skimmer to a plate (remove also the onion and the bay leaf). Remove the fish bones, cut the fish into pieces and set aside.
• Add the sifted flour to the dogfish cooking water and stir constantly with a wire whisk. Bring back the saucepan to medium-low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the broth slightly thickened (about 3 to 4 minutes).
• Turn off the heat, place back the dogfish into the pan and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Serve the soup with small bread pieces (the traditional way to serve it is with bread pieces inside the soup).

DOGFISH SOUP

Steps:

• In a large bowl place the water and the dogfish steaks. Season with salt, bay leaves, pepper, 50 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil, vinegar and chopped coriander. Leave to marinate about two hours.
• In a saucepan place the remaining olive oil and the chopped garlic. Leave to sauté over low heat about three to four minutes. Add the dogfish steaks and cook in the sauté about five minutes (turn the steaks at least once). Pour the marinade water (enough to completely cover the fish) with all the seasonings, increase to high heat and simmer. When starts boiling, reduce to medium-high heat and cook about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl mix well the flour with a little water. Set aside.
• When the fish is cooked, drain it and place on a plate (remove also the bay leaves). Add the dissolved flour to the cooking water, stir and cook about five minutes. Add again the dogfish steaks to the pan, cook more two to three minutes and turn off the heat.
• Serve the soup with crusty bread cut into pieces (the traditional way is to place the bread pieces in the bottom of the dish and pour the soup and the fish on top).

ITALIAN FISH SOUP

Steps:

• Make soup:
• Rinse squid under cold running water and pat dry. If squid are large, halve ring of tentacles, then cut longer tentacles crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Pull off flaps from squid bodies and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut bodies crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rings.
• Pat shrimp dry and sprinkle with pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear shrimp in 2 batches, turning over once, until golden but not cooked through, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
• Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and oregano to pot and sauté, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add wine and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Stir in clams and cook, covered, over moderately high heat until shells open wide, checking frequently after 6 minutes and transferring as opened with a slotted spoon to bowl with shrimp. (Discard any unopened clams after 8 minutes.) Stir in mussels and cook, covered, over moderately high heat until shells open wide, checking frequently after 3 minutes and transferring as opened with a slotted spoon to bowl with shrimp. (Discard any unopened mussels after 6 minutes.)
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Add stock to pot along with remaining 4 cups water, tomatoes with juice, sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes.
• Make toasts while stock simmers:
• Arrange bread slices in 1 layer on a baking sheet, then drizzle with oil and season with salt. Bake, turning over once, until golden, about 10 minutes total. Transfer toasts to a rack to cool slightly, then rub lightly with cut sides of garlic and sprinkle with parsley.
• Finish soup:
• Add halibut to stock and cook at a bare simmer, covered, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir in squid and reserved shellfish, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, 1 minute. Stir in basil and parsley and serve immediately, with toasts alongside for dipping.
