What do I do with smoked cod?

Smoked cod Cioppino
Yield : 12
Ingredients:
¾ cups butter
2 white onions chopped
2 cloves roasted garlic
1 bunch of chopped parsley
16 ounces canned stewed tomatoes
16 ounces of fish stock
1 bay leaf
1 cup water
2 cups white wine
2 lbs of peeled and deveined shrimp
2 lbs scallops
1 lb smoked cod
1 lb of clams
2 lbs mussels
2 lbs crab
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons of hot sauce

Method:
Over medium heat melt the butter in a large stock pot, add the onions, garlic and cook until the onions are soft.
Add the tomatoes, hot sauce( I use Franks Chili and lime sauce) , fish stock, wine , bay leaf, and cover . Let this simmer for about 30 minutes.
10 minutes before you serve , place in all the fish and let this come to a boil, cook until the mussels and clams are open .

If you feel the stock is not enough, just top it off with a little bit more water

Once the fish is cooked add the fresh herbs and mix together and season to taste. Serve right away with some crusty bread.
