🇬🇷 Kakavia – Traditional Greek Fisherman's Soup

🐟 Ingredients:

• 1 kg mixed fish (e.g. red mullet, gurnard, snapper, whiting — heads & bones included for flavor)

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

• 2–3 medium potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks

• 2 carrots, sliced

• 2 celery stalks, chopped

• 1 large onion, sliced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• Juice of 2 lemons

• Salt & freshly ground black pepper

• 1 bay leaf

• Fresh parsley, chopped

• Water (enough to just cover everything)

🥘 Instructions:

1. Prepare the base: In a large pot, heat olive oil and sauté onion, garlic, celery, and carrots until soft (about 5 minutes).

2. Add potatoes and water to cover. Add the bay leaf and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are almost cooked.

3. Add the fish (whole or cut into large chunks) on top of the vegetables. Add more hot water if needed to barely cover.

4. Simmer gently for 15–20 minutes until the fish is cooked through but not falling apart.

5. Remove fish carefully, debone if desired, and return the meat to the soup (or serve it separately).

6. Add lemon juice, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and sprinkle fresh parsley before serving.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Crusty bread or toasted sourdough

• Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over each bowl

• Optional: A splash of ouzo or white wine in the broth for a deeper flavour

Snapper for your Kakavia?

The ever glamorous Snapper is a very popular fish and is highly prized for its moist, delicate taste and is very easy to cook. Works brilliantly with our Kakavia soup! Fresh daily

Flathead?

Flathead is an excellent fish for Greek seafood soup like Kakavia — it’s meaty, slightly sweet, and holds its shape well in broth.

Whiting??

Whiting is an excellent choice for Greek seafood soup like Kakavia because it’s mild, delicate, and readily available — and it soaks up the broth’s flavor beautifully.
