    Can substitute halibut or other firm white fish for grouper, vegetable oil for coconut oil, and fish stock for clam juice.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This recipe is a definite keeper that I’ll repeat often! I made this with cod filets and they held up well during the cooking.

    Used tilefish, which I thought worked well. Obviously not as complex as your typical moqueca, but tasty and easy and hits the right notes. Sautéed the veg in palm oil as well and I thought that extra bit of flavor was a good addition.
