HOW TO MAKE TRADITIONAL PORTUGUESE DOGFISH SOUP

Step 1: In a large bowl, season the dogfish with olive oil, grated garlic, pepper, paprika, chopped coriander and bay leaf. Let marinate about 30 minutes.

Step 2: In a large saucepan, pour the water seasoned with salt and a peeled onion. Boil over high heat.

Step 3: When it starts to boil, reduce to medium-low heat and add the dogfish steaks with the marinade. Cook for about 15 minutes.

Step 4: Remove the fish with a skimmer to a plate (remove also the onion and the bay leaf). Remove the fish bones, cut the fish into pieces and set aside.

Step 6: Turn off the heat, place back the dogfish into the pan and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 7: Serve the soup with small bread pieces (the traditional way to serve it is with bread pieces inside the soup).
