1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 (28-ounce) can plum tomatoes, drained and diced
1 teaspoon saffron threads
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine

1 (2 to 3-pound) striped bass fillet, skin removed
1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Surprisingly good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I must confess that as soon as I saw this on TV, I wanted to make it - it just looked beautiful. It looks just as impressive... in real life and is amazingly easy to make. This is a great dinner party meal. Everyone I served it to just raved over it, but I really don't like the licorice taste that the Pernod adds to it - Pernod is quite strong and a little goes a long way. I would leave the Pernod out completely. So try it both ways to find our how you like this dish. Read more

Outstanding
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the sauce part and used just cod filets that I had available in the freezer. A very quick assembly. It is so good... that my husband asked "when can we have this again?", and he's not much of a fan of fish. Ina's recipes are always good, and she really hit it out of the park with this one.

A really excellent fish dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish for a very dear friend that only eat fish and vegetables and he loved every bite. I took out the panchetta. ... I used Chilean Sea Bass. The white wine and pernod really brought out the bass, shrimp and mussels. This meal was so easy and simple and very sculent and healthy. I served it with couscous cooked in vegetable stock with currants and pine nuts.Read more

Delicious!!

My family and I love fish! This was very easy and very tasty. I used Red Snapper and instead of using the black mussels I... used New Zealand mussels and it was great!! We all enjoyed it and will make it again!Read more
