Baked Cod, Chorizo and Mussel Stew and Garlic Toast by The Smokin Fox in Glasgow
The Smokin Fox is a stones throw away from Glasgow Central train station and sits on Waterloo St. Newly re-opened and refurbed, this place has a warm feel to it and a modern twist on some old renaissance ceiling painting that's worth the visit alone. We offer a wide range of drinks to suit everybody and have a fresh seasonal menu serving honest pub food from the head chef Marco and his team.
We are open everyday and everyone is welcome.
Ingredients: serves 4
4 5oz cod fillets, skin on
120g Chorizo, cut to chunks
1 red onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp paprika
1tsp ground cumin
400g chopped toms
1 juice of lemon
400g chickpeas
1 handful flat leaf parsley, chopped
400g fresh live mussels, scraped and the beard taken off
Method
1. Fry chorizo and onion in a pot until the chorizo starts to colour and the oil is seeping out. Drain the oil from the pot, add spices and garlic then cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.
2. Add remainder of ingredients minus the mussels and herbs, and leave to cook on a low to medium heat for 8-10 minutes.
3. While that cooks, heat up a frying pan with a little oil to a medium to high heat; add the cod skin side down and fry for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy. While the cod is skin side down, add the mussels to the stew and place a lid on the pot.
4. When the skin is crispy turn the cod over and cook, once ready leave to rest for two minutes in the pan. You know the fish is cooked when the flesh turns white all the way through.
5. Once the mussels have opened, the stew is ready. If any mussels do not open, discard them then divide the stew between 4 bowls, place the cod on top, squeeze the lemon juice over, add herbs and serve.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
