1 bunch parsley
2 sprigs oregano
2 cups grape tomatoes
5 cloves garlic
1 shallot
½ cup Kalamata olives
½ cup capers
27oz tin of diced tomatoes

Instructions
Slice up the baguette on the bias and fry it in some olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Set aside for dipping.
Crank up the heat and char some grape tomatoes in the skillet. In the meantime, finely dice some shallots and garlic. Add some kalamata olives and capers (and a bit of the brine from the jars) to the tomatoes. Add in garlic and shallots, cooking until translucent. Incorporate a tin of diced tomatoes and fresh (or dried) oregano. Set to simmer and allow to reduce.
Fillet and skin the fish into bite-sized chunks mixing into the puttanesca. Cook the fish through, top with chopped parsley and serve with fried bread.
