This is very old recipe from Dalmatia. The difference between regions in Dalmatia is that some put vegetables in a soup same not. I’m going to give you the simplest recipe, ingredients “sine qua non” as old Romans would have said. Using water you’ve cooked fish you can make nice soup. Just add cooked rice, olive oil and fresh parsley, filter the soup and you have it – nice and tasty.

Croatian boiled fish (and soup) Preparation

Use large pot with low rim and add water. Put onion, garlic, bay leaves, pepper (use whole black pepper berries) and cook 20 minutes until onion is soft (you can crush garlic). In the meantime clean the fish (do not chop the fish; it must stay in one piece). Add salt, vinegar, olive oil and fish in boiling water and cook for about 5 to 20 minutes (it depends how large fish is). To serve, take out the fish and put it on a plate with cooked potato. Cover with additional olive oil and eat it. For the soup: cook rice, filter the water, and add parsley and olive oil and you have a soup.
