Ingredients:

½ c. olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 leeks, sliced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf, optional
1 (14.5) oz can diced tomatoes
2 (8 oz) bottles clam juice
2 ¾ c. dry white wine
2 tsp fennel seeds, crushed

3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 lb. red snapper fillets, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pinch saffron
24 sea scallops
30 small mussels, scrubbed and debearded

Directions:

In large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Stir in celery, garlic, leeks, thyme, and bay leaf and cook until vegetables have just softened, about 5 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes to skillet. Slowly stir in clam juice, wine, fennel seeds, and parsley. Bring to a simmer and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Add snapper, and cook for 5-10 minutes. Gently mix in saffron, scallops, and mussels and cook until scallops are no longer translucent and mussels have opened their shells, approximately 5 minutes.
