Dad s Favorite Seafood Stew

Our family was in the retail fish and seafood business for almost 80 years, and during the course of that time, hundreds of seafood recipes were collected, tested, and developed. Dad came up with this one years ago, and it's been a family favorite for those of us who love the fruits of the sea. An impressive, but easy, company dish for four to six. Serve it up with crusty bread!
