The recipes was very very Bland. No flavor. I added coconut milk, jalapeño peppers, sea salt, old bay and Tony Chacheres Carole gumbo seasoning and red cooking wine to save the expensive fish and shrimp I added. After the additions it came out perfect.

Not a great use of good quality seafood - came out tasting a bit metallic and underdeveloped, and I added a decent amount of salt and actually sugar too, since I thought it might cut the tomato paste taste. Wouldn't make it again.

This is a good base recipe, however the broth was not as flavorful as expected. I added some red pepper to kick it up a notch but in general the soup lacks depth of flavor. I would also recommend adding more wine or stock to increase the amount of broth. I will try it again but with additional tweaks.

Wonderful and flavorful recipe. Used sole for halibut and lobster for the scallops (left over from the CL lobster chowder recipe) and it was delicious. As always, I added 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for interest and a little heat. The crunchiness of the fennel bulb was a nice texture surprise and very good.

Very tasty. I had to add 2 cups of water in order to get the broth consistency that appears in the photo.

This recipe just didn't do anything for me. Husband didn't think it was any great shakes either. I followed the recipe exactly. I think the problem is that we just aren't crazy about this kind of dish. Defintely WON'T make this again. For folks who like fish stews, though, this might just be your thing.

This dish is wonderful. I have cooked it several times-especially good with nice dry crusty bread.

So flavorful and easy. I would gladly serve for a special occasion. Halibut was not available, so I used red snapper. A bowl of the soup and a piece of bread for soaking up the liquid is all we needed for a great dinner.
