Mussel, Haddock and Salmon Stew

Mussel, Haddock and Salmon Stew

A hearty, healthy dish perfect for March. Ireland has a rich history of incorporating fish into their dishes – try varying the mussels for some Dublin Bay Prawns for an alternative dish. For a child-friendly alternative simply remove the mussels altoget
