Instructions
- Mis en place.

- Add the chopped onion.
- When the chopped onion starts to get translucent, you can add the Garlic after stirring it.
- After that, add the fennel seed, and finally, add the chili flakes. Stir that all around.
- Add tomatoes that you have crushed with your hands. Stir that.
- While that is happening, add boiling water to the lobster base and set that aside.
- The next thing we're going to do is add the clam juice. Stir that.
- Now you're going to add the lobster base you made a moment ago and stir that.
- Crush the saffron threads with your fingers and add those.
- Next is the Old Bay seasoning. Add that and stir.
- Add the white wine.
- Next, freshly ground black pepper.
- Finally, add the cod and stir it.
- Then you will add baby red potatoes.
- Let it cook for about half an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Next, test the potatoes by inserting a knife in one. If it goes in easily, they are done.
- Next, add the clams and stir them in.
- Add the scallops.
- The scallops are cooked when they are 130℉ / 54℃ degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
- Then add the shrimp.
- Cook that for a few minutes, and then you're ready to serve.
