PRO TIP:

When you’re using fish for this recipe, the possibility of the fish breaking up in the pot is there. If you don’t stir carefully, you might have broken fish or bits of it by the end of the cooking, and that’s not funny. So, be sure to take extra care when turning the food and always check the taste to adjust accordingly. You can use seafood to make this recipe, in fact, it is recommended, but if you are not buoyant enough, any protein will suffice.
