Start with 4 yellow Yukon potatoes and 1 carrot in a pot to cook them a bit before adding other ingredients.

Add 1 stock of fennel, 2 stocks of celery, and 1 yellow onion to the pot with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Add 5 minced garlic cloves and a pinch of salt when the garlic becomes fragrant.

Pour in about 3-4 cups of fish stock, using 1.5 cans of fish stock and adding the rest to make up the volume.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and add 1/4 teaspoon saffron, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Let the broth simmer for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

Add cod and lobster to the pot, as they take longer to cook than shellfish.

After the cod and lobster have cooked, add frozen mussels and clams, using about two handfuls of each.

Toast a baguette with butter in the oven at 400°F until crispy and golden brown.
