Instructions
 

For the fish stock:

  • Soak the carcasses under running water until the water runs clear. Divide into large pieces. Chop the vegetables. Wash and peel the lemons.
  • Put all ingredients in a saucepan, bring everything to a boil and then simmer gently for 45 minutes. Remove foam again and again with a trowel. Sieve everything and let it cool down.

For the fish soup:

  • Set aside half a stick of leek, 2 carrots and half a fennel bulb for the garnish. Chop the remaining vegetables and fry them in olive oil (only add the tomatoes a little later). Add tomato paste and roast a little. Deglaze with all liquids, bring to the boil.
  • Add butter, all aromatics and herbs. Cook for 15 minutes, then season with salt, pepper, chilli and ouzo and add a little saffron.
  • Chop the fish fillet, fry briefly with the red prawns in herb butter (see below) and set aside.
  • Cut the remaining carrots, fennel and leek into fine strips, fry them briefly in olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Sieve the soup and season again.
  • Arrange the vegetables in the middle, place pieces of fish and shrimp around them, pour the hot soup over them and garnish with parsley.

For the tomato bread:

  • Drain the sun-dried tomatoes, catching the oil, and cut into fine strips.
  • Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl, add water and oil and knead with the dough hook first on the lowest, then for 5 minutes on the highest level. Dust the dough with flour, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes.
  • Knead the dough again, knead in the tomato strips, dust the dough with flour, shape into two elongated rolls and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and cover. Let rise for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 230 degrees circulating air.
  • Cut the rolls at an angle about 0.5 cm deep several times with a saw knife and brush them with water. Bake for 10 minutes first, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees, bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

For the herb butter:

  • Mix everything in a large, deep plate with a disposable glove, pour into a bowl and let cool in the refrigerator.
