Step 1: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and fennel in oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Put potatoes in small pot and cover with cold water. Bring potatoes to boil then reduce heat to simmer until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add potatoes and 1 cup of cooking water to skillet. Turn heat to low. Add fish and very gently simmer until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
