"This is a wonderful dish to make for special occasions, as it is pricey to make, but so worth it. You can use any combo of seafoods to make this classic seafood stew with a little bit of everything from the sea. Shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, and crab meat; seasoned with oregano, thyme and basil. Serve with a loaf of warm, crusty bread for sopping up the delicious broth!"
