Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.
Wash 100 g mange-tout peas.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.
Cut into small pieces.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 20 min.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 15 min.
In a large pan boil about 2 litres water, add 2 tablespoons coarse salt.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.
When they have cooled completely, drain and set aside.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 3 min.
Wash 1 piece Fish, it's not necessary to remove skin and bones now, that will be much easier when fish is cooked.
Stage 11 - ⌛ 40 min.
Put fish into the vegetables broth, over a low heat.
Cook gently, without boiling, just barely simmering, until it becomes opaque (about 40 minutes).
A better method: cook until internal temperature reaches 70°C or 158°F (an electronic thermometer is useful). Once at this temperature, the fish is cooked, and longer or hotter cooking serves no purpose.
