MARK BITTMAN'S BOUILLABAISSE
You can make any soup with water instead of stock, but the soups that drive you wild usually have a beautiful stock as their base. This is doubly true of bouillabaisse, which should start with a stock so delicious that you can barely imagine improving on it. There are a few ways to do this: Grab fish bones when you see them, and make the stock incrementally. Another is to use shrimp shells. A third is to accumulate lobster bodies, which make fantastic stock. In any case, you combine whatever you have with some aromatics (thyme branches, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, peppercorns) add water and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes. Cool, strain and freeze if you like. When you're ready to make the soup, procure your seafood - pretty much any combination of fish and shellfish will do, but avoid dark-fleshed fish - and go forth. From there, it's no more difficult than making a pot of vegetable soup.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees; brush bread liberally with olive oil, and bake on a sheet, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Add enough olive oil to a Dutch oven, deep skillet or shallow pot to make a thick layer (don't skimp) on the bottom. In it, cook onion, garlic, celery, carrot, potato, fennel and saffron until glossy. Add stock and tomato and bring to a moderate boil; cook until thick and stewy rather than soupy. Season to taste; it should be so delicious that you don't even care whether you add fish.
- Lower heat to a simmer, and, as you add fish, adjust heat so that the liquid continues to bubble gently. Add fish in order of how long they will take to cook. Monkfish, striped bass and squid are fish that might require more than a few minutes, so add them first. About five minutes later add clams and mussels, holding back any fish that has been cooked or will cook in a flash. When mollusks open, add remaining fish. Cut scallops into quarters and place in the bottom of 4 bowls.
- Add pastis if you're using it; taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle hot soup and fish over the scallops, distributing clams and mussels evenly. Garnish and serve with croutons and rouille, if you're using.

BOUILLABAISSE
The addition of mussels and lobster is modern and delicious. Traditionally, bouillabaisse is served in two courses: the soup first and then the fish, but feel free to serve it as one.

Steps:
- Remove gills and any traces of blood from fish heads. Thoroughly wash fish bones; cut them into lengths that will fit inside 12-quart stockpot. Set aside.
- Cut leeks into quarters lengthwise; slice 1/4 inch thick. Place in a small bowl of cold water; let soak 5 to 10 minutes to remove dirt and sand. Drain; set aside.
- Make a bouquet garni: Cut dark-green leek leaves into two 5-inch lengths. Arrange tarragon and parsley sprigs in center of one leaf. Place other leaf on top to enclose tarragon; tie with kitchen string.
- Roast seeds: Heat a small skillet over medium heat until very warm. Add coriander, fennel, and cumin seeds to warm skillet. Cook, shaking pan or stirring frequently, until toasted and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Let seeds cool in a bowl.
- Strain whole tomatoes over small bowl, reserving liquid. Remove seeds; place tomatoes in bowl with liquid. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a 12-quart stockpot over medium heat; add reserved sliced leeks, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and paprika. Cook until onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add reserved whole tomatoes and their liquid, sun-dried tomatoes, saffron, turmeric, harissa, roasted coriander, fennel, and cumin seeds. Stir to combine.
- Raise heat to high, add reserved fish heads and bones, and cook, stirring frequently, until bones are opaque, about 5 minutes. Add fennel branches, orange peel, and bouquet garni. Add water to just cover bones, about 4 quarts. Bring to a boil; skim foam from the surface. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 25 minutes. Pour stock through a sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. Return liquid to pot.
- Meanwhile, bring a large stockpot of cold water to a rolling boil. Quickly add lobsters; cook about 12 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Drain lobsters; submerge in cold water to stop cooking. Drain again.
- Place 1 cup reserved stock in a large saucepan. Add 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; add mussels. Cover; cook until mussels open, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Meanwhile, place stockpot with stock over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add potatoes; cook until just tender, about 20 minutes. Add fish fillets; cook until opaque and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove tails and claws from lobsters (discard bodies or reserve for other use). Crack open claws and tail; add with mussels to pot; cook just long enough to warm. Serve with rouille and toasted French bread rounds.

- 3. Bring to a boil and cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
- 4. Reduce heat to medium and add the fish (but not shellfish). Cook for about 2 minutes.
- 5. Add any clams, mussels, and shrimp. Simmer until the shells just begin to open, about 4 minutes more.
- 6. Add any crabmeat.
