Amazingly awesome flavour. My husband never had it before and was a little leary but now it is one of his favourites. Recipe is easy to manipulate depending on your taste.

I made this exactly as stated, except that I used mahi mahi, sea bass, mussels, shrimp & scallops for the fish. The broth was so bland and watery! I was really disappointed. I ended up adding a bunch more seasoning, and some Pernod (traditional liqueur for bouillabaisse). After the additions, it was better but still not great. If it weren't for the fact that I'd made some toast rubbed with garlic and spread with rouille to eat with the soup, it would have been a total loss. It may taste better tomorrow, but who wants a fish soup that needs 24 hours for the flavour to develop? When you are going to spend a lot of money on expensive fish you want to eat it when it is fresh. Also it made a LOT. My husband ate a few spoonfuls and then said..."Honey, I know you worked hard on this recipe but it's just not good." So not worth the effort. Sorry...I really wanted to love it.

My wife is allergic to onions and garlic so I improvised, adding fresh chopped scallions, Thyme, and Taragon. I used Cod and Shrimp and it was great.

This was wonderful! I made it for my dad, as it is one of his favorite dishes and the restaurant that used to make it doesn't anymore. He loved it! I followed the instructions to the letter and it is fabulous. Thank you!

Pretty disappointing. I hate to say that because I really wanted this to be great, but it wasn't. It was very bland and boring.

Excellent. I used shrimp, scallops, mussels(in shell), clams(in shell) and grouper cheeks. My fish store, which is on the shore, sells to restaurants and has packs of grouper cheeks just for this purpose. Everyone loved the fish. I used the recipe proportions for 10 for six of us and had very little left over. cse

What a tasty soup! Must be an east coast recipe and being on the west coast I had to alter a few things as far as seafood. I used fresh cod fillets, clams, prawns, and large scallops. It was great. Make sure you start prepping a little early, it takes a while to chop up and prepare all the ingredients......But it is sooo worth it. :)

A big hit at my dinner party. I made the soup base the day before and it had a wonderful rich flavour when all the fish was added. Not to mention it made things much easier to have had all the "fiddely" work done.

This recipe is superb. My husband begs me to make this dish at least once a week. If you're a seafood eater, this is a terrific dish for you. Also, I've tried it with and without the saffron to appease varying taste-buds, and both ways are excellent. The only down side to this recipe is that quality seafood can be rough on the pocketbook.

After chopping up the veggies, the soup was very easy to prepare. It is satisfying and full of flavor. I will be making this soup on a regular basis.
