My father has been making this soup for several years now. It is incredibly easy to make, given how tasty the results. The key ingredient is the clam juice, though I have prepared it for people with shellfish allergies substituting the clam juice with white wine, fish stock, or water. It works, just not quite as tasty. Works well with white fish, though firmer is better. My favorites are cod or halibut for this stew. You can also use tilapia or sole.
