TIPS
The flavor of the soup will be even better if it is simmered on low heat for up to 2 hours longer before adding the seafood. (Bring soup back to a medium simmer before adding the fish).
Onions, fennel, shallots and garlic may be chopped one day ahead and refrigerated. All fish may be cleaned, cut and refrigerated one day ahead as well.
