4 large carrots, coarsely chopped
2 large green bell peppers, coarsely chopped
1 bunch fresh cilantro
½ bunch fresh oregano

1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large stockpot. Cook and stir onions in the hot oil for 5 minutes. Add celery, carrots, and bell peppers and saute for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro, oregano, and bay leaves. Saute for 2 minutes more. Add water, fish parts, fish heads, clam juice, and peppercorns.
