In a 5- to 6-quart pan, bring broth, wine, and tarragon to a boil over high heat.
Add unpeeled potatoes and carrots and return to a boil; then reduce heat, cover, and boil gently for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, split leeks lengthwise and rinse well.
Add to pan, cover, and boil gently until leeks are tender when pierced about 10 more minutes.
Lift leeks from broth with a slotted spoon, cover, and keep warm.
Rinse fish and pat dry; cut into 4 equal portions.

Evenly distribute vegetables alongside fish and ladle broth over all.
