It the beef stock not a bit overpowering for a fish stew? I would've thought you substitute with veg or chicken stock.

I'd put some herbs in, like a handful of chopped parsley.

Chorizo and/or paprika would add a nice Spanish touch and compliment the tomatoes and wine already in there. Fresh lemon zest for finishing as well.

No stock used at all, and doesn't really need any. I often add a bit of cavolo nero or spinach at the end as well.

Add some white wine and saffron and chunks of potato, season and cook until the spuds are ready and then add the fish fillets and
