instructions
Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a soup pot. Add the red onion, celery, fennel, carrot, garlic, and potato to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes on low heat, without browning. Add the white wine, diced tomatoes, mussel juice, and 250 ml of water. Bring to a boil. Let it simmer gently for 30 minutes with the lid on the pot. If the soup reduces too much, add some water. Put the cod and shrimp in the pot and let it cook for another 10 minutes or until both are done. Then scoop the cooked mussels into the pot. Season with pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Pour the soup into bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with finely chopped parsley.

Facts about Prince
How do I cook my mussels?
Put the vegetables together with a splash of wine or beer in a large pot. Place the mussels on top. Sprinkle with pepper and bring to a boil with the lid closed. Shake the mussels during cooking. When the shells are all open after about 5-8 minutes, the mussels are cooked. Serve them with baguette or fries and sauces of your choice. Check the traditional recipe for more information.
Can you freeze fresh mussels?
Fresh mussels in the shell should never be frozen. However, if you have cooked the mussels and can't eat them all, you can freeze the mussel meat after removing it from the shell. You can then add the mussels to soup or salad later, or fry them up nicely with some onion.
