Riblja-Juha-A Croatian-Fish-Soup

This is a Croatian fish recipe which I prepared for the Foodies+ Croatian food event.I thoroughly enjoyed cooking the dish.thanks to the wonderful recipe which I got at from  Jasmina who gave me an opportunity to taste such international delicacy at home .I had Basa fish fillets which were skinless so did not try the grilled fish recipe which I was very keen on attempting.The Croatian grilled fish recipe needed whole fish to be grilled on fire.Will try that also some other day.The fish was moist and juicy and the stew was mild spicy just right to be served during the dinner.So enjoy this delicious recipe.
