BOUILLABAISSE
Seafood bouillabaisse is a French stew where fish and shellfish are simmered with earthy root vegetables for a deeply flavorful seafood stew unlike any other. Distinctive flavors that set French bouillabaisse apart from other seafood soups are fennel, saffron, and orange zest. Don't skip these important ingredients!

Steps:
- Thoroughly clean clams and mussels by scrubbing with a stiff brush. Remove any grit on the shells to keep it from getting into the soup, and pull off the fuzzy "beard". Any open shells that don't snap shut when you touch them should be discarded.
- You also need to scrub then soak your clams in salt water about 20 minutes to get them to spit the sand out.
- Cut your fish into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
- Dice the onion and carrot into ¼" pieces, thinly slice 1 cup of fennel bulb, and finely mince 2 shallots and 6 cloves of garlic.
- Chop your parsley and zest your orange.
- Heat a large heavy pot on medium low heat and add olive oil.
- Once the oil is shimmering, sauté the prepared onions, shallot, carrot, fennel, and garlic until lightly golden and softened.
- Add in seafood stock, diced tomatoes with liquid, wine (optional), the strip of orange zest, thyme, parsley, tomato paste, salt, basil, saffron threads (crush between your fingers before adding), and a few turns of the pepper grinder.
- Bring the bouillabaisse liquid to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer (low bubble) and cook for 15 minutes.
- Add seafood (add squid last if using) and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until the shells are opened on the clams and mussels.
- Remove the thyme stems, and orange zest strip, then add additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle steaming hot into bowls and top with additional fresh herbs for garnish.
- Pair the stew with crusty bread for dipping in that lovely broth and a fresh French salad.

ISLAND-STYLE BOUILLABAISSE
Bouillabaisse is a traditional Provencal fish stew made with rockfish, langoustine and scallops in a fish-saffron broth scented with orange peels. It's one of the most luxurious, comforting dishes out there when done correctly. When thinking about the center dish for this episode, I decided to tap into my upbringing and the summers spent in Gonaives, a department in the Artibonite region of Haiti; it's a sea town with lots of seafood and goods. I wanted to create the same luxurious fish stew but with traditional Caribbean ingredients.

Steps:
- For the epis: Put the the oil, the garlic, cloves, scallions, thyme, habanero, lime juice, onion, parsley, salt and pepper in a blender and puree until it reaches a thick consistency.
- For the bouillabaisse: Add 2 tablespoons of the epis to the whole fish and let marinate.
- Clean the mussels by soaking in cold water and removing the beard from each mussel. Clean the clams by brushing with a soft brush to remove all the grit and sand. Then let them soak in cold salted water until ready to cook.
- Add 1 cup of the oil to a large pot over medium heat and saute the garlic, leeks, onions, turmeric and ginger until soft, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Then add the dried shrimp, shrimp paste, tomato paste, thyme and half of the remaining epis and cook until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Deglaze with half of the wine, the coconut water and fish stock, add the Scotch bonnet chile and simmer on low heat until reduced by thirty percent. Turn off the heat, transfer the contents to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Pass through a sieve. Add the stew back to the pot and let simmer on low.
- While stew is simmering, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat to grill the whole fish. Place the fish on the grill and cook on one side until golden, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through, about 7 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
- While the fish is on the grill, in another large pot heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium heat with the remaining epis and the shallots. Cook until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the clams and deglaze with the remaining wine. Ladle some stew into the pan and cover until the clams are fully cooked and open, 5 to 8 minutes. Discard any that don't open.
- Add the mussels to the simmering stew and cook until they open, 5 to 8 minutes. Discard any that don't open.
- Plate the grilled fish on a large platter. Arrange the clams and mussels in the stew around the fish.
