Note
If fresh basil or parsley is unavailable, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried basil and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, added along with the thyme.
For a vegan version, omit the fish and clam broth. Use vegetable broth and increase the amount of eggplant and zucchini for heartiness.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often improve after resting overnight.
Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it will become dry and tough. Add it at the very end of the cooking process.
