Tuscan Fish Soup.


No tuscan fish soup this. This is the leftover salmon and shrimp bisque to which I added tomato, mahi mahi and scallops as well as some heavy garlic and cilantro.
This is soup week. Tomorrow a wonderful middle eastern lamb and chick pea soup with harissa.

Here is all the info Rita:
Mahi Mahi is a fish found in warm waters. We get it here from Hawaii and it is mid-range expensive. Very hardy flesh and great taste. Here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahi-mahi
Cilantro is also called coriander in a parsley like form. It is very popular in South American cuisine. I first came across it in Brazil.
Harissa is a paste made from tomato, chili peppers flakes, garlic and olive oil to name a few ingredients. It is very hot and is used in Middle Eastern cuisine as an accompaniement to cous cous.

Hi Rita. Remember that delicious fish we had while at the Mayo Clinic. Can you remember the name - I've forgotten. Jim may be able to give us more info on it.
