Notes

There are several options for serving. You can serve the fish and vegetables over a bed of rice or grits. You can also eat in a bowl without any other grains. To make this vegan, you can omit the fish and add 1 1/2 cups of chick peas, rinsed. 
If you don’t have shallots, you can use small (or half) of a red or sweet onion.
