       slightly brown.  You may need to add a little water to prevent
       it from burning.
3)   Add the garlic and the tomato.  Keep cooking until the tomato
       becomes a nice red deep color.
4)   Add the fish stock and bring to a boil.  Season with salt.  Make

       on top and then bring the flame down...but keeping a slow boil.
       Cook for 10 more minutes.
