Steps:
- In a stock pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, onions, fennel, bay leaf and season with a pinch of salt and a grind or two of pepper. Cook, stirring, until both the fennel and the onions are very tender, but not browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Cook's Note: Be careful to not break up the bay leaf during this process.
- Add the lemon slices, garlic, and tomato paste stirring to combine. Cook until the tomato paste turns a deep reddish brown, then add the tomato slices and season with another pinch of salt. Allow to sit and bubble a bit, then stir, repeating until the tomatoes are completely broken down and some moisture has evaporated from the pot, about 10 minutes.

Add the fish stock, raise to a simmer and nuzzle the fish into the pot, and simmer until fish is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve warm with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Steps:
- For the seafood stock: Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, fennel, garlic, leeks and onions and saute for about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, rosemary, thyme, and the crab and lobster shells and stir. Add the peppercorns and 16 cups (4 liters) water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 hours. Strain the stock into a smaller saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by two-thirds, about 45 minutes. Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper.

HARVEY CEDARS FISH STEW WITH PARSLEY CROUTONS
Steps:
- Put a 16-quart stockpot over medium-high heat and coat with the oil. When the oil starts shimmering, add the fennel, spreading it evenly in a single layer over the bottom of the pot. Brown the fennel for about 2 minutes, rotating the pieces with tongs. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the clams and give them a stir to coat with the vegetables. Pour in the Pernod, wine, and tomatoes. Cover and cook until the clams open, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, transfer the clams to a bowl (discard any that don't open) and set aside. Bring the liquid to a boil, turn down the heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes cook down, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the tomatoes reduce, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Spread the bread liberally with the parsley sauce. Lay the slices side by side on a baking pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bread just starts to toast.
- Meanwhile, pour 2 cups water and the clam juice into the pot; season with the salt and pepper. Bring to a rapid boil over medium-high heat. Carefully ease the lobsters into the boiling liquid, cover the pot, and steam for 8 minutes, flipping them over with tongs halfway through cooking; the shells should be bright red. Using tongs, carefully remove the lobsters from the pot and put them on a large platter.
- Now add the mussels, shrimp, scallops, and swordfish to the pot. Toss in the tarragon and parsley, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes.
- With two large chef's knives, split the lobsters in half down the body. Place the knuckles and claws on the work surface and give them a whack to crack them open. Put the calamari and reserved clams in the pot and set the lobsters on top. Cover the pot for a minute so everything gets nice and hot; do not stir because you'll break up the fish.
- For drama, I like to take the whole pot to the table and serve it in front of guests. Divide among large pasta bowls, being sure to ladle plenty of broth into each. Put a large dollop of aïoli, if using, on each crouton. Float the croutons on top of the stew. Serve the remaining croutons on the side . . . people always want another.
- Saffron Aïoli
- Combine the saffron with 2 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl, stir, and let steep for 5 minutes to release the saffron color and flavor.
- In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic. Gradually whisk in the saffron water until well blended. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Whisk first 5 ingredients and 3 tablespoons oil in small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Aioli can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add leeks, carrots, fennel, and shallots; sauté until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme, and saffron. Add wine and boil 5 minutes. Add 5 cups stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes to blend flavors. Add fish and simmer until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Working in batches, puree soup in blender. Working in batches, strain soup through coarse sieve set over large bowl, pressing firmly to force as much of solids as possible through sieve. Return soup to pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
- Spread enough aioli over each toast to cover. Bring soup to simmer, thinning with more stock, if desired. Ladle soup into bowls. Top each with 2 toasts. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fish, fennel, and garlic will give your stew the best flavor. If you can't find fresh fennel, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried fennel seeds.
- Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should be cooked through, but still flaky.
- Make sure the stew is seasoned to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste before serving. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice: This will help soak up the delicious broth.
- Enjoy the stew as soon as it's made: It's best when served fresh.
