This brodetto was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I should have used less seafood and more vegetables. The broth was good, but I would have liked it to be a bit thicker.

This brodetto was a bit bland for my taste. I think I should have added more herbs and spices. The broth was good, but I would have liked it to be a bit more flavorful.
