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 they
will toughen.

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.

NOTE: Fish and shellfish preparation: Fish suitable
are snapper, mullet, eel, whiting, john dory and
bream. Cut into 5 cm (2 inch) slices and sprinkle
with lemon juice. Add heads and trimmings to fish
stock. Cut rinsed lobster tails into 5 cm (2 inch)
pieces with shell on. Shell and de-vein prawns.
