This is definitely a more simple version of bouillabaisse than I am used to but a good thick one that is isn't overly complicated or time consuming. I had to use some different fish (mussels and cod, instead of halibut and scallops) because of what was available in my store, but I think this recipe is easily adaptable to any number of seafood combinations. I did have to cook it for about 15 minutes longer than indicated though before the potatoes were totally done, and added a bit extra water as a result.

Wonderful recipe. I added a can of clams, some crab meat, the juice of 2 lemons and saffron and what was originally a wonderful recipe by itself, became awesome to suit the taste of my family. The more fish/shellfish the better. I'm going to try this later in the season with mussels and lobster included.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
