"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 lb. Redfish fillets
1/2 c. flour
1 bunch green onions
1/3 c. vegetable oil
1 large onion
1 large bell pepper
5 cloves of fresh garlic, finely chopped
3 stalks celery
2 lemon slices
1/4 c. fresh chopped parsley
3 bay leaves
1 can chopped tomatoes, with green chili peppers

1 (8 oz.) can of tomato sauce

Directions:
Directions:
The day before you are ready to enjoy this dish, cut Redfish fillets into 1/2-inch squares. Place fish in a glass bowl with the chopped garlic, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped green onion, and (as much as you dare) seasoning. Shake even amounts of Soy Sauce and Worcestershire Sauce in to wet the fish. Stir well, cover, and place into refrigerator to marinate overnight.

Make a “roux” with the flour and oil. Add chopped onions, bell pepper, and celery to the roux and stir until the vegetables wilt. Add shrimp stock, parsley, tomato sauce, tomatoes with chilies, bay leaves and 8 drops liquid crab boil. Let simmer for 1 hour. Season to taste. Add fish, and bring to a boil. Cut heat back, add lemon slices, and let simmer for 1/2 hour. Add remaining chopped green onions 5 minutes before completion.

Personal Notes:
Delicious served over white rice with a side dish of potato salad. If you occasionally enjoy a nice cold beer, this would also go along with it.
