Tips
- If you can't find redfish, you can substitute with other firm white fish like snapper or grouper.
- Feel free to adjust the heat level by adding more or less hot sauce according to your preference.
- The longer you let the stew simmer, the more flavorful it becomes. So, if you have time, let it simmer a little longer!
