The soup was amazing! I used a frozen seafood mix, along with fresh shrimp and cod, and canned clams. The frozen shrimp in the seafood mix were not so great, although the mussels, calamari, and scallops were fine. The canned clams were also good. Fresh clams and mussels are just so expensive, which is why I got the frozen seafood mix. Next time, I'll just pick the frozen shrimp out and feed them to the cat.
