Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add potatoes and boil for 5
minutes.

Reduce heat, add fish pieces and simmer 3 minutes, then add lobster
pieces and prawns and simmer for 7-10 minutes until prawns turn pink
and lobster meat is cooked. Do not boil when shellfish are added for

Pile fish, shellfish and potatoes in a serving dish, sprinkle with
chopped parsley and keep hot.

Serve soup in a tureen as a first course with crusty bread, then
follow with seafoods and potatoes served with lemon wedges and a
cruet of olive oil. Alternatively soup, potatoes and seafoods may be
served together in deep plates.

slices and sprinkle with lemon juice. Add heads and trimmings to fish
