Looks delicious!  Thanks for sharing the recipe Erik.

Making me hungry at 11:30pm!
I gotta make this!
thanks

Wow, thanks. I'll let you know how I do......

Damn!  That looks good.  I'm no longer wondering what to have for dinner this weekend.

The halibut I caught the weekend before last, I cooked down the heads and remaining spines etc. after filleting it and got about 4lbs of meat out of it so that's what I used this time (2lbs of it at least) and some of the fish stock...it was delicious. FYI: I use Chicken of The Sea brand baby clams and pour in the juice it the pot.

So I decided made another batch last night to add to the WAF points and ended up modifying the recipe a little. I added some fresh cracked pepper (2 teaspoons) during simmering, both the 2 cups fish stock along with 2 cups of clam juice, and bumped up the Garlic a couple cloves. Once served up I ended up adding freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh cracked pepper to the bowl. This is how it turned out, you can be the judge!

Had a craving so I ended up making a patch tonight.....the stuff is oh so heavenly! I even threw in a little salmon fillet this time.No complaints from the wife and an empty bowl=serious WAF points. 

Sweet! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Was planning to make it next week anyways, but now I have a better recipe. Any idea ~how many servings that original recipe gives up?

It roughly makes about 8 servings but depends on how big your bowls are. FYI: This go around I also used two cans of tomato paste to thicken up the sauce a bit. The recipe to me is more like a guide line I usually do it to taste.

Making this tonight, just want to search it faster while at the grocery store

Just saw this. Awesome!
Gonna try next week if I can get all the ingredients.

Thanks for the recipe going to make it for mothers day dinner.
