Switzerland is an angler's paradise, owing to its large variety of fish from the clean lakes, brooks, rivers, and mountain streams. Lakes and brooks in the Alps are classic waters, and whoever is after big fish will find trout, carp and perch, pike in the Rhone. I got this recipe in Culinaria European Specialties.

Fish and Eggplant Stew image

This recipe comes from West Africa, and is from Classic International Recipes. Because rivers, lakes, and ocean inlets are plentiful here, fish and seafood are used often. It is too "bland" as posted, so I have taken some liberties! Maybe not authentic, but tastier! Revised 06/03/2011.
