There’s something so comforting about the combination of seafood and potatoes. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love it!
This Seafood & Potato Stew is kind of my happy place right now. It’s comforting, cozy, and even healthy! I used Potatoes USA petite potatoes as the hearty base for this stew, and they were simply perfect.
So creamy and flavorful, they paired so well with the tomato base and chunky seafood.
I love this dish because it’s easy enough to make for a weeknight meal, and good enough to make for a special occasion. Or even better? Cozy up by the fire with a blanket and a book, and a big bowl of this.
You’re heart will be happy.

Very good! I had bought some fish stock and small potatoes that I wanted to use. I added celery. The tomato and tomato paste were just the right amount of tomatoi-ness. Recipes with fish and tomato sauce don’t taste that good to me, but this is just right. After adding some fish I didn’t cook but a few minutes more and skipped the shrimp. Will come back to this one.

We really enjoyed this recipe. The whole family loved it, including a very picky 12yr old. 5/5 I made it exactly as written, except for the seafood. I used what I had on hand which was a bag of Trader Joe’s Seafood Medley (shrimp, scallops & calamari) I also threw in a 1/2 cup white wine for good measure 😆 and had lemon wedges as garnish. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for a great recipe. Will definitely be making this again!

Great dish, I added a bit of white wine.

This recipe is fabulous and very forgiving!! No halibut – but cod was just fine. I didn’t have tiny potatoes so I chopped my big ones up! I had to make many adjustments but stuck to your proportions and timing and it was delish! My kids loved it too. I will definitely make this again!
Thanks!!!

I just made this for my family last night and it was delicious! Only thing is I used small yellow potatoes that I cut into small wedges, and I had to cook them closer to 15 mins before I threw the fish in. My family asked me to add this to our family cookbook. 😀 thank you Laney!
