Advice
Keep the simmer gentle once the fish goes in—rolling boils break the fillets and cloud the broth.
Why it works
Bloomed paprika unlocks fat-soluble aromas; tomato adds body and color; a splash of acid at the end sharpens flavors and balances the rich fish stock.
Twist
Mixed fish: Combine carp with pike or perch for layered flavor.
Spicy Bačka: Add 1 tsp more hot paprika and a minced fresh chili.
No-tomato: Skip passata and use more paprika for a clear, brick-red broth.
