Brudet, also called brodet or brodeto, is a tasty fish stew. It's a very popular dish in the coastal parts of Croatia, especially in areas like Dalmatia, Kvarner, and Istria. You can also find it along the coast of Montenegro.
Across the Adriatic Sea, many Italian coastal cities also have their own versions of this fish stew. Some famous ones come from places like the Venetian Lagoon, Romagna, Marche, Abruzzo, and Molise.
This stew is usually made with different kinds of fish cooked together. It includes spices, vegetables, and often red or white wine, or even vinegar. The best thing about brudet is how simple it is to make, usually all in one pot!
Brudet is typically served with polenta, which is a dish made from cornmeal. Sometimes, it's served with toasted bread. Both polenta and bread are great for soaking up the delicious fish broth. Other recipes might serve it with potatoes. The exact taste and ingredients of brudet can change a lot depending on where it's made and who is cooking it.
