the mussels were cooked , but still in the closed shell ?
thus your timing for the mussels ' to open up '
and the other Fz seafood was added Fz , at the beginning ?
I ask as can get various vac'd seafood
broth I certainly understand ....
gives me something to think about ..
BTW : all our tastes differ , in out own ways .
Im not a fan of ' tomato ' in a fish stew.
I grew up on The Peninsula 3/4 down ( San Francisco )
there was a very fine fish restaurant , quite close to your home
" Fish House
informal , lots of room for the tables
fish very fresh grilled , baked etc
they did a Cioppino that was outstanding :
packed w all sorts of seafood , perfectly cooked .
friends got it all the time and loved it
it was that good .
I just thought it would be better w a non-( even light ) tomato broth
How Odd .
I used to grow my own tomatoes
3 rows of 8 plants each , started from seed.
soaker hose , black plats, an home made cylindrical cage
