Pesce all'Acqua Pazza
In ACNH: 1. Catch a Red Snapper.
2. Cook on the stove with 1 Red Snapper, 1 Tomato, & 1 Manila Clam
In Real Life: from Italy
Species of Choice: Any whitefish will do. Ultimately, the fish will absorb the broth you use. Red Snapper and Sea Bass are the two most commonly-used fish for this dish, but you're free to use the white meat from flounders or cod if you like them better. And I don't know why ACNH insisted on showing this as a "whole fish" dish, but it's for fillets. Get or prep your fish as fillets.
Other Ingredients:
Garlic
Parsley
Salt
Tomatoes
Water
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Red Pepper Flakes
Here's the recipe & serve with a salad.
This dish is another one, like Poke, that the modern era has taken and transformed from a very simple dish to something complicated. The recipe I gave above is the simple version. "Pesce all'Acqua Pazza" literally means "Fish in Crazy Water", referring to the dish's "sauce" that is a light, watery broth you make yourself. But some people go further to include other things into the dish to make it more than it originally was.

And that's fair! Honestly, when it comes to recipes, they should be used as guidelines or as practice until you get the hang of it enough to explore on your own. (This DOES NOT apply to baking - treat baking recipes like a chemical reaction you better follow to a T or you're gonna end up with crap.)
I'm looking forward to trying this one out myself and I'm planning on adding more veggies to make it more like a soup so that it's more of a whole meal than part of one. Above, it looks like the person added in onions, which is a good idea, too. I'd also add in blanched broccoli and serve with garlic bread on the side.
Oh man...my mouth is watering just thinking of it!
Preparing red mullet and squid. I baked the mullet in a parcel with lemon, garlic and oregano and sautéed the squid quickly in a pan with sweet paprika, lemon and pepper. Delicious!
