Portuguese Fisherman's Stew

1½ pound cod or halibut (or other white fish), boneless and skinless, cut into 1" pieces.
1 large onion, spanish or videlia, chopped. Alternate: 1 large leek, or 2 medium
6-8 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
1 tablespoon paprika
½ teaspoon crushed red peppers — quite hot, use less for a milder stew.
4 cups water (hot). Use broth for a thicker stew.
salt and pepper to taste
(optional) 1 cup frozen corn

In a large pot, sauté the onion in the oil for about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 more minutes.

Add the potatoes, paprika, red peppers and water. Simmer for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Add the remainder of the ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes or until the fish is done.
