Pusandao de Pescado (Fish and Vegetables In Coconut Milk)
Man…this is really good. Pusandao de Pescado is fish and starchy vegetables stewed in coconut milk. This can be eaten as a soup or served over white rice. This dish traditionally uses catfish; but you can use any firm white fleshed fish such as tilapia, cod, snapper, swordfish, etc. I really like the combination of potatoes, yucca, and plantains in so many Colombian dishes; and this is one of them. I think this is a great dish to turn on someone who isn’t a fan of fish; especially if you use a mild fish like catfish.
