  1. Clean and prepare the fish. Remove its scales with a fork. Then open the belly with a knife and remove its innards. Remove the gills. See this tutorial on how to scale and gut a fresh fish.
  2. Cut into 5-6 pieces. Place in a pan and season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides.
  3. In a cooking pot, add the olive oil and the onion, along with 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat to medium and with the lid on slightly open on the side, simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Then add the celery root, grated tomato, and the carrot and simmer for another 15 minutes.
  5. Add the celery leaves, the potatoes and season the soup with a bit of salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes and then add the fish.
  6. Place the fish in the pot and bring the heat to medium-high. Cook for 10 minutes more, adding the lemon juice and zest 2 minutes before removing the pot from heat.
