minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes, saffron, and seasonings. Stir for
ab out 2 minutes, then add the white wine and cook for 4 to 5

the fish stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for
45 minutes. At the end of 45 minutes, add the potatoes and begin to
cook.

While the broth is simmering, make the Peppery Croutons by brushing

cracked pepper, and toast in a 300 degree oven until crisp (about
12 minutes).

After the potatoes have simmered for 10 minutes, add the lobster.
Return to a boil and cook at a strong simmer for 5 minutes, before
adding the fish chunks and the shrimp and cook until the fish is j
ust cooked, but not yet flaking apart. Remove the bay leaves, taste
for seasoning, and serve immediately, garnished with the Peppery
Croutons.
