Cook for 45 minutes, then add the fish and the oil. When the fish had cooked, remove and lay on a platter. Strain the broth through a colander and put it again in the pot. Add enough rice (1 heaping tablespoon for each seerving) and stir with a fork. When the rice has cooked, beat 2 eggs, slowly adding the juice of 1-2 lemons and some broth from the pot and pour the mixture in the pot, stirring constantly, over a low fire.
