The Fish Soup Delight can be serviced as a lunch dish,

The Fish Soup Delight can be serviced as a lunch dish,
but probably better suited to an evening meal, either way accompanied by a
good quality white wine. Baitbox uses estuary cod, but you could use any
type of cod, or maybe a similar white, oily fish species to achieve the same
flavour quality.
You can make your own stock, but it is a lot easier these
days to just buy it ready made.
Steps:
1. Shell the prawns and reserve the shells. Peel the
onion and carrot. Chop the vegetables finely and fry gently in the oil in a
large pan until soft. Add the prawn shells. Crush the garlic with a little
salt, add to the pan and cook for a further 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes
and wine and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
2. Add the prepared fish stock, the chervil and a pinch
of saffron. Add plenty of seasoning. Bring to the boil and cook for 10
minutes.
3. Pass the soup through a mouli, or liquidiser and
strain into a clean pan. Scrub the mussels and put in a clean pan. Cover
with lid and cook over a high heat for 4-5 minutes until their shells open.
Remove the mussels from their shells and mix with the prawns. Skin the cod
fillets and cut into small cubes. Add to the prawns and mussels.
4. Strain the mussel liquor into the soup. Season and
bring to the boil. Mix the potato flour with a little cold water to a smooth
paste, and add it gradually to the boiling soup until it reaches the desired
consistency.
5. Five minutes before serving, add the prawns, mussels
and cod. Simmer gently. Serve the soup piping hot, sprinkled with chopped
parsley, accompanied with a bowl of garlic-flavoured mayonnaise.
