Fish Stew

This is my mom's recipe which she is making for years.  It is incredibly easy to make, yet so flavorful that we enjoyed it just as kids . While I was re-creating the dish , I cultivated my own ways of making the same and added some ingredients of mine :-). It came out really well ! I would have never thought of trying it with garlic bread until I saw my daughter enjoying the stew with it ( yah...garlic bread is one of her favorite snack) .
