Really good, basic fish stew. To take it to the next level, I would add some anchovy paste. Then substitute Italian parsley for regular parsley and squeeze some lemon juice at the end.

I used different fish and scallops instead of mussels, getting what was available at the store. It was delicious. There are only two of us so it lasted a week for lunch or dinners and was better every day.

Very delicious! My new fav fish stew! Finely chopping the onion, celery and garlic is key to provide max flavor in the broth. I did a fine mince in food processor. Swapped fennel for green pepper. Any fish and shellfish will work. I used cod, mussels and scallops. Simple but sooo flavorful! Parsley is key at the end. Serve with crusty bread.

Nice rich fish stew. Great with a crusty loaf of bread for dunking. It's become our traditional Christmas Eve dinner.
