My family found this paella on the bland side. The clam juice just wasn't enough flavor. I think if you'd replace it with a good fish stock, the flavor would improve.

This was the recipe I was looking for (with no meat-just seafood) and it came out incredible. Simple and straight forward. Of course, using (or not using) saffron and smoked paprika would make a big difference. I used them(plus a teaspoon of ancho chile spice). I made a couple changes/additions...of course. I used four 6 oz cans of chopped clams with their liquid(instead of clam juice) and added wine to make up the difference. I had one grouper fillet and a bag of seafood mix which had scallops, calimari and shrimp. Added some extra shrimp and the mussels. I also added a tablespoon of tomato concentrate and a tablespoon of anchovy paste. I added a couple more cloves of garlic too and half a fennel bulb chopped. Thawed some frozen peas in warm water and tossed them in at the very end. No "BIG" changes really. This rocked. Served with lemon wedges. Total hit.
