Notes

Use the freshest seafood available for the best flavor. Check for clear eyes on fish and tightly closed shells on mussels and clams.
If you're not keen on wine, a splash of apple cider vinegar can brighten the soup.
For storage, let the soup cool before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
To elevate the dish, serve it with a homemade rouille spread on toasted bread. Enjoy the perfect pairing with crusty bread and a glass of white wine!
