In reply to Rosario. Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed the caldo de pescado. Your version with celery and shrimp sounds absolutely delicious :)

Hi Mari,

We had this on New Year’s Eve and it was fantastic. I used Red Snapper and Cod but had to improvise with the veg…I couldn’t get Leeks however I tried. Surprising, as it’s a Winter veg in the U.K. so I used Spring Onion and Pak Choy! Couldn’t get Shrimp bouillon so used Thai fish sauce and everyone enjoyed it.

Thanks again for a lovely meal

Hi Mari,
I cooked this for my parents last night and we all gave it 5 stars!
I couldn’t find Shrimp bouillon where they live so used a tablespoon of Thai fish sauce. Sadly no fish heads either as our local fishmonger only sells filleted fish.
I must confess to not having enough Chipotle in adobo but fear not. I did have some Pasilla de Oaxaca chillis which were really smoky and really did add depth to the sauce.
So, from myself and my parents, a big thankyou for this and the other recipes of yours that I cooked for them last week

This was phenomenal!!! I made subs only bc of what I had on hand – for example I used delicata squash instead of zucchini. And I’m not sure if it was guajillos or pasillas that I used. Ha. I added 3 arbols for heat! Used barramundi for the fish. Omitted the shrimp bouillon bc my hub is allergic. Used chicken stock instead of water. Garnished with cilantro, lime, and avocado. This will now be in the rotation!! <3 Thank you!
