Fillet the fish and add these to a pot before topping with fish stock, wine, olive oil, liquamen and the leek. Bring this mixture to a boil, cover and simmer over a low heat for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile grind the coriander, pepper and lovage in a pestle and mortar. Add the oregano and mix to a paste. Add these seasonings to the stew and simmer for a further five minutes.
