Have you heard of the seafood diet? You see food & you eat it! (OK rubbish joke!)
High protein, omegas, fibre, spice, fragrance & low in fat. What’s not to like? This Spanish-style seafood stew uses up kitchen cupboard basics plus mixed seafood you might have in the freezer. Even better, you can cook it all in one pot, so there is minimal washing up!
