Love this recipe! I've also tried substituting black eyed peas and it tastes great.

This recipe is delicious and very easy. I marinated the fish before adding it to the stew for about 15 minutes with 1 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp each turmeric and chili powder and 1/4 tsp salt. I also added a little fish sauce at the end. Lime juice and cilantro are a good finish. I also used kale instead of spinach.
