  Me and my partener have tried this recipe on a few occations and find it very tasty. We left the capers out as i think they are very strong in flavour - quite a individual taste and used smoked white fish instead. This stew isn't thick but is full of flavour and great with bread and butter to lap up the juices.

  Easy, straightforward recipe. I added a couple of chillies for a bit of a zing!

  Yummy! both partner and I loved this dish. I added a little chili to give it a little kick and crusty bread and butter a must. Will make this again and again.

  As suggested by Tonkychi and huwnet, I also added a bit of crushed pepper for a little kick. Pepe

  With pepper, without prawns, less capers and fine peas as extra. My kids loved it.

  Had no peppers so used sliced fennel. Added a pinch of saffron plus a touch of black pepper (a little finelt chopped dill at the end. For the fish I used a mix of smoked haddock, salmon and cod, plus the prawns. Could almost imagine I was in Marseilles.

  Used haddock as the fish and added crushed chilli peppers and reduced capers to 1 desserspoon. Was worried that it looked a bit bland and not very exciting at first but it tasted delicious and everyone enjoyed it.

  Lovely - this will be a regular. I used a cheap nameless white fish (I suspect it was coley) and it worked very well.

  Great recipe loved it as a midweek supper but it would equally be suitable for entertaining. Just added a chilli and used double quantity fish (halibut) and no prawns. Looked very runny but don't be put off, the sauce is delicious mopped up with ciabatta. Will be making again!

  Followed the directions exactly for this and it came out really tasty. My only qualm is that the pepper strips were quite overcooked by the end, might just give them a quick stir on high heat when they go next time - no need to cook them through before the potatoes are added.
