Seafood Stew

Just as the Portuguese use dried cod to make bacalao, fishing communities around the Cape’s West coast add dried, salted snoek fish to soups, stews and casseroles along with locally grown vegetables, to create flavours that are uniquely South African. Here’s one of our favourite stews, just for you.
