Meanwhile, cut fish into 1-in. chunks and add to boiling broth. Reduce heat and simmer until fish is cooked through and pulls apart when poked with a fork, about 3 minutes. Remove rosemary sprig, season with salt and pepper, and spoon into bowls. Drizzle each serving with oil, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with warm, crusty bread.
