Chraime is a spicy fish stew cooked with tomatoes, from North Africa. Its name comes from the Arabic word for hot, and the cited article gives it in both Hebrew and Arabic spellings. Jewish households traditionally eat it on Erev Shabbat, the eve of the Sabbath, and also on Rosh Hashanah and at the Passover Seder. Libyan-Jewish immigrants have popularized the dish in Israel. The article connects it to related cooking, including the cuisines of the Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews and the Arab soup harira, but this entry describes the one fish stew only.
