# Fish in Crazy Water (Acqua Pazza) - Made In

Fish in Crazy Water (Acqua Pazza) is a classic Italian dish of whole fish gently simmered in a light tomato and white wine broth. This Japanese-inspired version adds ginger and bok choy for a fresh twist, while the Stainless Clad Fish Pan provides the ideal shape for cooking whole fish or fillets in a flavorful broth.

Fish in Crazy Water, or _Acqua Pazza_, originated along Italy's southern coast, where fishermen are said to have cooked freshly caught fish in seawater with a handful of simple ingredients. Today's versions typically swap the seawater for fresh water or wine, along with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and herbs, creating the light, aromatic broth the dish is known for.

This version takes the Italian classic in a Japanese-inspired direction with fresh ginger, bok choy, and cilantro, while Made In x Jacobsen Salt Co. Sudachi Salt (limited drop coming August 2026) seasons the fish from the start and adds a bright citrus finish that ties the entire dish together. The result is tender, perfectly cooked fish and plenty of broth for soaking up with crusty bread.
