Print Chefs at Home: Black Sea Bass in Crazy Water
Serves: 2
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Difficulty: EasyCrazy water, or acqua pazza in Italian, is a flavorful broth used for poaching fish. The fish is then typically served in the broth. Most flaky white fish filet or smaller whole fish take well to this preparation. Make sure the pot or pan you use is wide enough to fit the fish and tall enough to hold the broth. The dish can be served family style or plated into wide bowls.

Instructions
Assembly
1.
Heat the oil in a wide pot (I used a 6-quart Dutch oven) over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, and fennel and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2.
Add the chopped tomato, cherry tomatoes, corn, chili and spices. Cook for 3 minutes.
3.
Add the wine, vegetable stock and salt. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes.
4.
Once broth is ready, lightly season both sides of each fillet with a little salt and set them in the simmering liquid. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Serve immediately.
