Tips:
- Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your soup will taste. If you can, buy your seafood from a reputable fishmonger or seafood market.
- Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of seafood: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of seafood in your soup. This will give your soup more flavor and texture.
- Use a good quality fish stock: The fish stock is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can make your own fish stock or use a store-bought stock.
- Season your soup to taste: Be sure to season your soup to taste. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
