FISH IN “ACQUA PAZZA”This simple entrée is a variation of a dish from Ristorante Don Alfonso in the town of Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi, just outside Naples. There, it’s sometimes served on toasted Italian bread, which soaks up the “crazy water” - the tomato-based sauce. The fish is quick to prepare and is also low in fat.4 5-ounce red snapper fillets
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
1 1/2 teaspoons drained capers
Fresh Italian parsley, chopped

Arrange snapper fillets in single layer in large nonstick skillet. Add 1/3 cup water. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Top with tomatoes. Drizzle olive oil over. Sprinkle with capers. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until fish is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer fish to platter. Boil sauce in skillet until thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon sauce over fish and sprinkle with parsley.

Another great idea, plan the day in advance! You are armed and ready to fight off the cookie monsters tomorrow. I love the look of that recipe, I may try it with a different fish - fresh fish is not easy to come by here unless I catch it.
I have a question about your points. Are you following Weight Watchers? I have the materials from 2005, and my point range from then is 20-25 pts. It seems like your points are really low too - I wonder if the plan has changed at all? Are you aiming really low to jump start your weight loss, or is 21 points in your range? Does WW even do a range of points any more?
Can you check what my point range should be in your materials, to see if I am eating too many points? I’m 5′2″, 145lbs, 32 years. Thanks!

I made this recipe last Easter for my husband and myself. We weren’t expecting family so we decided to not do the traditional ham and went with something we both love and that is Italian. At the time, I had recently purchased a new Italian cookbook…loved a few of the pasta dishes, so I figured I’d give this a shot since we both love fish…and I loved the notion of dipping the bread with the fish! It came out very well, but felt it could use a little more zing. I may try this version this weekend and maybe the ratio of the water to spices in your recipe might do the trick. Appetito buono!!

So it’s 5:20am and THANK GOODNESS I don’t have to think about what I’m going to make today. I’m absolutely exhausted!!

I am following Weight Watchers, but our program is a bit different here. My points seem low but that’s because of how points are calculated out here. First of all, they don’t take fibre into account at all. Secondly, we don’t count *most* fruit and veg (only a few that are high on the GI). Lastly, we have these funny things like “unlimited” potatoes (in one sitting) for 2 points, “unlimited” fresh pasta for 4 points… that kind of thing. I know the program in the States/North America is different from ours and because you count everything your daily points will be higher, but I do not think there is a range anymore. I wish I could help you with what your points should be, Nahanni, but you can get that info for sure from 3FC or DWLZ :)

Starbug - wow, you’ve had this recipe! Cool! I’m actually going to use couscous instead of bread and if it needs zing… then I’ll add in some spices :) Thanks for mentioning this to me! I love to cook and really wanted to try something new!
