Add tomatoes and cook until they are saucy, about 5 minutes.

Pour in fish stock and bring to a simmer.

Cut potatoes into small cubes and add them to the pot; let them simmer until tender, about 50 minutes.

Prep the seafood: if fresh, ensure it's cleaned; if frozen, rinse under cold water.

Once potatoes are cooked, gently add the seafood to the pot; simmer for 5-7 minutes until seafood is cooked through.

Add a handful of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stir well and let sit off the heat for a couple of minutes to meld flavors.

Serve hot with crusty bread.
