Harry's Island Bouillabaisse

Recipe #11716 | 45 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Bergy

This is my brother Harry's recipe and it is very good! You can freeze leftovers (if there are any). Don't feel limited to the seafood in this recipe - he often changes the contents. Allow about 4 lbs of fish/seafood for this recipe whatever you decide on. Serve with lots of crusty bread and perhaps a salad Use raw shrimp/prawns or they will be tough

    This recipe is great for a nice, simple bouillabaisse. I like mine with a bit of saffron and fennel seed so I added that in and it was perfect!

    Excellent starter recipe! I cooked this for the first time for a dinner party of 6. I tossed in everything seafood and some home made lemon flavored sausage. Clam juice is hard to find in Tokyo, so I substituted fish broth and that did the trick. Thanks Harry for a wonderful recipe!!

    It good, but it lacks zest. I recommend adding 1-2 lemons according to their size. You can also add rice and sausage.

    Any recipe that makes me look like a champ in the kitchen is ok in my book. Thanks for making me look like a champ. I used Tilapia as my white fish and regular chopped clams. I bought fresh uncooked med shrimp. The girl at the fish counter told me never to cook already cooked shrimp. In her words, "they'll come out like a dog's chew toy". So in closing, the blend of flavors in this recipe are delectable. And so easy easy easy to make. Thanks so much.
