...I love stuffed pepper and these look great.
Gracias por la reseña. Tomó nota. Te mando un beso.
Thanks for visiting me. Gosh, your recipe photo is beautiful!!!
Wonder how it would taste with rockfish.
I MUCH prefer my capsicum raw, so this one is not for me.
Sounds good. We eat a fair bit of smoked cod.
Hello Jan:=)
I have enjoyed a few stuffed pepper recipes, and I'm sure I will enjoy this one too. It seems delicious! My May so far has been lovely.Last Sunday was Mother's Day here in Portugal. and my daughter treated me to a meal in a very nice restaurant. We ate bacalhau salted cod roasted with roasted crushed potatoes, onions, and lots of tomato. A typical Portuguese meal often eaten at Christmas. Not many foreigners like it, I suppose it's an acquired taste.
All the best

We love red, yellow and green peppers - stuffed or in salad.
God bless.
That looks very tasty. Cod can be so disappointing sometimes, but peppers and tomatoes sound perfect. I do like stuffed peppers!
This is an interesting recipe.
So far I've only known stuffed peppers with minced meat... and if you try hard, the sauce is excellent.
Many greetings and a hug for you
Yummy recipe
I make stuffed peppers and the red ones in particular are great. Instead of basil I put diosmo and parsley. I will try adding basil too..
I've never thought of stuffing veggies with fish. It's always been beef. What a great idea.
I love the stuffed peppers, yum!
Take care, have a wonderful day!
Yum, and they look so pretty, too.
I love stuffed peppers and I love cod. I only eat it once a week (frozen) because it is very expensive. I will always remember fries and cod in England. It was delicious, fresh, extremely appetizing. You've made me really want to eat this delicious dish.
Hugs and greetings.
Yummy. So good.
We enjoyed both stuffed peppera and cod this week, but in separate meals,this recipe will be for a future meal.
That's a delicious looking recipe!
How delicious it looks, it must be super delicious.
Thanks for the recipe.
Hugs and all the best

Hello there and many thanks for your comment/question.
I haven't tried this using rockfish, although I think it would be okay!
Rockfish is known for its sweet and nutty flavour, while cod offers a milder, delicate flavour.
Rockfish is also denser and meatier than cod, making it a heartier option for those who enjoy substantial meals.
When considering which option to choose based on taste alone, it ultimately comes down to personal preference.
However, keep in mind that rockfish offers a more robust and distinctive flavor profile compared to the subtle taste of cod.
Whatever your choice may be, both rockfish and cod can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes, whether baked, grilled or fried.
These details, and more to read, from article here:-

I hope this helps.
All the best Jan
I like the idea of adding the fish to a stuffed pepper. That's a neat idea. I haven't thought of that. Thank you! I recently started eating fish again so this is helpful.
I love using a pepper as a "boat" for food. The cod sounds good.
I bet hubby would like this, a bit of a change how I usually prepare it
I never thought to use cod to stuff a pepper... I am pinning. Thank you!! Carla
These look delicious.
