Cut 700 grams of potatoes into bite-sized pieces that are 2 cm thick (about 3/4 of an inch).

Roughly chop 2 small onions and 4 cloves of garlic.

Cut 2 peeled carrots into small bite-sized pieces.

Heat a stock pot over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.

Add the chopped onions, garlic, and carrots to the pot and mix them around to coat in the olive oil.

Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Add the chopped potatoes to the pot along with 1/2 cup of dry white wine.

Season with 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, and mix well.

Simmer for a few minutes until the alcohol has cooked off in the wine.

Add enough Spanish fish broth to barely cover the ingredients, along with 1/4 tsp saffron threads and 1 bay leaf.

Raise the heat to high and mix gently until it comes to a boil, then lower the heat to low medium and cover the pot.

Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are just cooked through.

Pat 3 cod fillets dry with paper towels and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Cut each cod fillet into bite-sized pieces that are 2 cm thick (about 3/4 of an inch).

After about 20 minutes, check the potatoes for doneness; if they need more time, simmer longer and add more liquid as needed.

Add the pieces of cod to the pot and gently mix them into the stew.

Cover the pot and simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes until the cod is cooked through.

Remove the pot from heat and transfer some of the stew into a shallow bowl.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
