Notes

Use the freshest seafood available for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, and reheat gently. Avoid freezing seafood stews as they often lose texture. If you can't find certain ingredients, consider substitutions such as using salmon for white fish or clams for mussels. Serve with crusty bread for an extra treat, and don’t forget to enjoy the homemade rouille!
