Notes:
7
1. yesterday I used more butter than olive oil for a richer broth but left out the tomato paste; used only 1 lb of fish; used celery, bay leaves, and herbes de provence
8
2. yesterday I added no extra salt
9
2. I never chop canned tomatos anymore, I just squeeze them right in
10
3. I always add chicken or vegetable stock, otherwise it comes out much thicker
11
4. I never use lobster--it's too much work, and I use the premium crabmeat out of a can
12
5. sometimes I do all clams and no mussels
