    I must have fat fingered something.
    Let me know if i am getting out now. I can assme due to no replies, I
    was not
    lately so not sure where to update you all from.

    OK, welcome back. Nothing else of yours has
    gotten to Doc's since the middle of September.
    I thought the circumstance sort of fishy, but
    I wasn't about to stew about it.

    Title: Bouillabaisse
    Categories: Soups-stews
    Yield: 8 Servings

    3 qt Good fish stock
    3 Bay leaves, crushed into
    -tiny bits
    1 ts Thyme
    4 cl Garlic, minced
    1 oz Dry white wine
    Salt & pepper
    1 1/2 lb Black bass
    1 1/2 lb Red snapper
    2 md Onions, minced
    1 tb Best olive oil
    1 pt Canned tomatoes
    1 pt Dry white wine
    1 pn Saffron
    1 oz Absinthe
    1/2 ts Anise extract
    1 pt Crabmeat, not Atlantic blue

    Set fish stock to simmer to reduce by 50%.

    Mix seasonings with small amount white wine to make a paste.

    Cut the fish into equal-size slices. Rub with the paste and set aside.

    Wilt onions in oil. When ready, add fish stock, tomatoes, wine. Bring to
    a
    boil and let reduce a bit. Dissolve saffron in a small quantity of liquid
    and return liquid to pan. Add absinthe and other anise flavoring (I used
    extract because the owner of the absinthe started to complain as there is
    no chance of getting any more where that came from). Add fish in a single
    layer; reduce heat to low and cook until fish is opaque. Stir in crab and
    warm through. Serve in soup plates, if desired put a small boiled potato
    or
    a slice of bread toasted in butter in the bottom of each plate.
