Thai Whitefish Curry
With lots of seasoning and savory mushrooms, this Thai Whitefish Curry works well with cod, tilapia, or any other whitefish you like. The robust flavors do a good job of masking any fishy flavors if you happen to have picky eaters in the house like I do. (It’s me. I’m the picky eater.) You can adjust the aminos and sea salt to taste or add a splash of fish sauce for an even bigger umami zing, and if you can’t get a hold of shiitake mushrooms, generic button mushrooms work just as well.

I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal! It’s available as a digital download for $9.99.

I like this one! Much milder flavor than I anticipated but really nice. I am used to eating curries with a grain on the side, so I’m really missing that today. Maybe next time I will make this with cauliflower rice.
I hear you! Cauliflower rice is definitely my favorite side for this dish!
this recipe looks great! I love curries and missed them on AIP.
one question though: I’m not a fan of cauliflower rice, any suggestion what else this curry might go well with?
You could try serving it over spaghetti squash, or just serve it with a side salad to get your veggies in.
Wow, this was mind blowing-ly good! I think it’s my favorite curry I’ve ever had. I didn’t tell my partner this was a “special” recipe and he loved it! We ate the whole thing for dinner, so tasty! I’ve been veering towards an AIP diet due to health issues and digestive issues. I will definitely be trying more of your recipes. Thank you!
That’s awesome, Tom, I’m so glad this went over so well! Best of luck with your AIP experiment!
