Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, leek, and garlic, and sauté until soft (about 5 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in chopped fennel and diced tomatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids and Spices

    Pour in the fish stock and white wine, then add saffron, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the Seafood

    Once simmering, add shrimp, white fish fillets, snow crab claws, and mussels. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open and the seafood is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Stir in chopped parsley before serving with lemon wedges on the side.
