- Instant Pot Seafood Stew Recipes
Today, we're going to talk about fish stew. With the Instant Pot, we can change the 'slow' to 'fast,' and a world of culinary opportunity opens itself up to us. While beef stew is one of the first recipes everyone makes in their Instant Pot, there's something wonderful about a seafood stew.
It's lighter, often paired with similar ingredients to beef - carrots, onion, potato, celery - and served in some sort of broth. Not only will we be talking about seafood stews; we'll be sharing some seafood curries, soups, and more with you. After all, it still fits the definition of meat and vegetables cooked in a closed dish!
1. Instant Pot Fish & Potato Stew
This stew is the perfect way to use firm white fish. Something sturdy and mild like sea bass lends itself incredibly well to this dish. The composition really allows the fish to be the main ingredient here and stand out as the star of the dish through and through. For bulk, add some potatoes and tomatoes for flavor. Recipe from Bowl of Delicious.
2. Creamy Fish Instant Pot Chowder
This stew blends what you love about classic New England clam chowder and creamy, chunky, smoky potato soup. You end up with a love child that epitomizes comfort food! Its humble beginnings include bacon and mirepoix, and the bulk of the stew is made up of potatoes, frozen corn, and haddock. Recipe from Health Starts In The Kitchen.
3. Seafood Instant Pot Gumbo
This gumbo is boasting a list of classic gumbo ingredients, so you can bet the flavor is good. This recipe is even paleo-friendly and Whole30-compliant! While a good gumbo can be rather indulgent, this is the perfect weeknight meal or office lunch that won't be weighing you down with heavy ingredients for hours to come. Onion, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, shrimp, and sea bass combine for a healthy twist on classic Southern cuisine. You can serve it with white rice or cauliflower rice if you need to bulk it up. By the way, this dairy-free dish makes a great choice for a freezer meal! Recipe from The Movement Menu.
4. Instant Pot Mediterranean-Style Fish Stew
Packed with flavor and nutrients, this Instant Pot Mediterranean-Style Fish Stew features tender chunks of white fish, hearty potatoes, and a medley of vegetables, all easily prepared in the Instant Pot. It's customizable to suit your dietary needs, whether you're following a low FODMAP, dairy-free, gluten-free, or Whole30 diet or simply looking for a wholesome meal. Recipe from Good Noms, Honey.
5. Instant Pot Clam Chowder
Of course, we had to include a classic clam chowder. This one hardly deviates from the standard recipe, so it's the perfect Instant Pot rendition to recreate your favorite soup. Chopped clams, bacon, butter, fresh thyme, potatoes, half and half, and a garnish of chives stand out in this recipe with your standard soup ingredients, giving it unbeatable texture and a creamy deliciousness you just can't beat.

6. Shrimp & Lentil Instant Pot Stew
This recipe is great for the person who wants to get their protein in! With a tomato broth base mixed with Old Bay, thyme, oregano, and spicy cayenne for a kick, every bite is injected with fabulously fresh flavor. Shrimp and lentils make up the bulk of the stew lending lean protein, fiber, and so much awesome nutrition. We especially love the addition of riced broccoli! This tasty gluten-free and dairy-free dinner is done in less than 15 minutes. Recipe from Aimee Mars.
7. Seafood, Chicken & Sausage Instant Pot Gumbo
If you want to take a trip to Louisiana without leaving your kitchen, this gumbo is the perfect dish for you.

Gumbo has never been easier than with the Instant Pot, including the side of perfectly cooked white rice. Recipe from Stay Snatched.
8. Instant Pot Cioppino
Cioppino is a seafood stew that originated in San Francisco. It has Italian roots with a tomato and wine base, and it features a TON of fish. When Italian immigrants in California had a scarce fishing day, they'd walk around collecting what they could from the community. This version features scallops, shrimp, sablefish, crab legs, and clams. Recipe from Denimelon Eats.
9. Japanese Seafood Instant Pot Curry
Many curry recipes feature standard Thai flavor which is fantastic and all, but have you ever tried Japanese curry? Test your culinary prowess with this flavor-infused dish. The recipe includes a tutorial for making a rich curry roux - the secret to the distinct taste in this stew! The seafood blend features clams, shrimps, scallops, and calamari. Recipe from Just One Cookbook.
10. Instant Pot Coconut Red Curry Shrimp
This healthy dish encompasses Thai takeout flavor with a simple list of staple ingredients like prawns, coconut milk, curry paste, fresh ginger, and fresh garlic. It's a nourishing choice and perfectly paleo-friendly if you substitute white rice for cauliflower rice. Recipe from Wholesomelicious.
