Steps

1
Simmer the fish heads and bones in 2 litres of water for 25 minutes, skimming, then strain and keep the stock. Discard the solids.
2
Soften the onion, carrot and pepper in the oil for 10 minutes.
3
Add the strained stock, the potatoes and the rice and simmer 15 minutes.
4
Stir in the grated tomato and paprika.
5
Add the fish fillets in large pieces and simmer just 8-10 minutes. Fish soup is ruined by overcooking more than by anything else.
6
Season with salt, take off the heat and stir in the lovage.
7
Rest 10 minutes and serve with lemon wedges and chilli flakes at the table.
