The method

Step by step

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
About 1 min
2
Add the onion and leeks to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
About 10 min
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
About 1 min
4
Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cook until the wine has reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
About 5 min
5
Add the fish stock, potatoes, bay leaf, and fresh thyme to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper.
About 2 min
6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: Ensure potatoes are cooked through but not mushy.
7
Gently add the cod and haddock fillets to the simmering broth. Cook for 5 minutes.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Avoid over-stirring to prevent the fish from breaking apart.
8
Add the shrimp and mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the mussels have opened.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Discard any mussels that do not open after cooking.
9
Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
About 1 min
10
Ladle the cotriade into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
Cook’s note: Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
