Fish Stew Moroccan Tagine

this is a simple dish to make with a lot of flavor. any of these firm white-fleshed fish can be used in this tagine; sea bass, stripped bass, red snapper, porgy, halibut, cod, haddock, or pollack. i adjusted the amount of lemon juice in this recipe after the reviews said it was too much. thanks for the great input.
