- Step 1
Working in batches, puree the broth ingredients, except the egg whites, in a food processor. Transfer to a heavy-bottomed stock pot, over medium heat. Whisk the egg whites until frothy, and add to the pot. Whisk frequently until mixture comes to a boil and has a solid mass on top. There should be liquid and foam bubbling around the edges.
- Step 2
Lower heat, poke a hole in the solid mass and continue to simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat and cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Ladle the broth through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a double layer of damp strong paper towels. Do not press; allow liquid to drip. Strain again, if necessary, to remove all particles. Keep broth warm.
- Step 3
Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Dust with flour. Heat oil in a skillet until very hot but not smoking. Cook fish for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until browned and just cooked through.
- Step 4
Place the fish in large shallow bowls. Pour about 1 cup of the broth over each. Sprinkle with basil and diced tomato and serve.
