About this dish

Kakavia (Greek: κακαβιά) is a Greek fish soup. Its name comes from the kakavi, the tripod cooking pot used by ancient Ionian fishermen. Kakavia has been described as "the most ancient of Greek fish soups", and related in lineage to the French bouillabaisse; like that stew, kakavia is made with a flexible variety of fish and is associated with fishing villages. It was traditionally made from the smallest fish caught by fishermen, along with olive oil, onions, and saffron. One modern recipe calls for filleted and chunked whitefish (such as cod, goliath grouper, or snapper), prawns, fish or vegetable stock, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, and a garnish of flatleaf (Italian) parsley.
