Sounds like you already got the basic idea. Just add some green & red peppers, garlic , Tabasco. (or other hot sauce or cayenne) Oregano, tyme, dry red wine, maybe some mushrooms. Experiment a bit with the amounts and your good to go.
As long as you have enough garlic & hot sauce in a tomato base you can't go too far wrong.

Here's what my family used to do and it's really simple. Fry up a little fatback in the pot for more flavor. Layer of fish, layer of onions, layer of sliced potatoes. Keep going in that order until you run out of them. Put in a little hot sauce to your taste. Add a can of tomato soup mixed with enough water to cover all the fish, etc. Bring to a boil and then simmer all day. Of course, add salt and pepper to your own taste. It'll be done when you can't wait any longer 'cause the smell of it cooking is gonna drive you crazy. Serve with a roll of french bread and you're good to go.

Carsom's Mullet Stew
My fishing buddy in the late 70's wanted to catch seatrout or sandtrout but sometimes they did not cooperate and he would break out the cast net and catch mullet.
This is another simple one but very good, probably because the fish was so fresh!
1-2 lbs mullet fillets
1 med onion chopped coarse
1 med bell pepper, chopped coarse
olive oil
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can Heinz tomatoes with herbs sauce
1Tbso cooking sherry
Saute the fillets and onion and pepper in the olive oil until the fish is white and the onions translucent. Add the tomatoes and sauce and cook an additional 20-30 minutes
I think any firm white fish would work but mullet is what he always used.
Those were the Days! Gas was relatively cheap and Tampa was "relatively" unpopulated.
