Me?  I like 'em both thank you.  They both have their merits.  As for 
fish and tomatoes I don't see anything wrong with the combination.  We 
put tomato in our gumbo and in shrimp jambalaya and both are fine that 
way. I guess I'm guilty of adding stuff that's not needed when I set out 
to make Manhattan clam chowder, about halfway through, my tastebuds 
start thinking I really want cajun so I start adding stuff like tabasco 
and okra.  I grew up in a coastal town and I can never get enough fish 
and seafood of any sort.
