    I agree with Rozanne, you need to give us more detail, like when do you add the fish to the fish broth etc. And I really really wanted to know what the yummy stuff was you put on top of the croutons as well, any way ..... Love your show.

    Darren, please .... the above just doesn't look right compared to what you did on the show. Example, we need the recipe for the delicious stuff (sorry for the term) you put onto the croutons. My husband is a fisherman and I've been experimenting for ages for the perfect type of fish soup, and yours looked divine - just need more details. Ta XXX

    This is not the real Brodetto (Northern talian) or Brodet (Croatian), I make it all the time and you have with pollenta. All you need is green prawns, calamari (not squid, there is a difference) a nive piece of tuna, canned diced tomatoes and lots of parsley... Looks and tastes much better than this...too much fish.
