Pescatarian Posole Stew

A SoCal resident, “Posh Pescatarian” Stephanie Harris-Uyidi spends a good portion of her exercise time paddleboarding on the Pacific. “It’s a core crusher,” she says. She shared this this lighter pescatarian version of posole (pronounced pho-soh-lay), a Mexican stew normally made with pork, uses halibut bones to create a simple, flavorful broth that’s lighter in calories yet still hearty enough for either a full meal or a refueling snack after a day out on the water.
