old timey fish stew
(1 RATING)
I don't know where this recipe orginated, but I do know that my daddy used to make it outside in a great big cast iron pot outside on a fire. We grew up eating this and my mother would make it the same way as Daddy did. And she couldn't really cook! lol! Hope y'all enjoy it!
