    I followed the instructions, except forgot the sugar and added 1/2 cup of white wine and 1/4 c. chopped pancetta to the saute. I used curly escarole and local halibut, as regular escarole and striped bass were not available. While the braising liquid and clams were tasty, the 2 bunches of greens cooked down quite quickly and the color was a little gray. The lemon slices are a bit awkward to serve or avoid while plating, so I'm thinking to use larger slices and only 1/2 a lemon to make it easier to pick them out and reduce the acidity a bit. Make sure you use freshly sliced pancetta. I used a good quality pre-sliced product, but there was not much flavor. I served it with grilled baguette with just a little olive oil and salt. Pasta might be good as well. Overall, a nice light dish.

    Used canadian bacon instead of pancetta, and a sugar substitute. It was VERY TASTY! Would be great with crusty bread and warrants another head of escarole. The bitterness of the escarole was offset by the saltiness of the the chicken broth and garlic. Great option as a meal for weight loss.

    I made this according to all directions (minus replacing the sea-bass with some haddok. And it came out very bitter. We ended up not eating the escrow but everything else was amazing! I think next time I will change the greens to spinach.

    I made this delicious recipe for my husband and my parents. I had to make a couple of substitutions--I couldn't find escarole, so I used fresh spinach, and the Chilean sea bass was really good at my fish monger, so I used it instead of the striped bass. This was absolutely wonderful! I soaked my clams in cold water with a little flour and changed the water a couple of times, before steaming them in the broth. Although I was worried, there wasn't a single grain of sand in the clams. You should add the sugar, I wasn't sure about it, but it cuts down on the bite of the clams and balances the broth. This broth was amazing-and so easy!! I also made a little bed of smashed potatoes and layered the spinach on top, then the fish and topped with the crispy pancetta. I spooned the clams and broth around it. I could have left out the mashed potatoes and served with a warm crusty bread to sop up the delicious broth. This was so easy and a winner--was enjoyed by all. Thanks Tyler!!

    I saw this show a few days ago and tried to re-produce from memory...
    I forgot the sugar, thyme and bay leaf... :P
    My grocer didn't have any escarole so I substituted Swiss Chard. Although I think this recipe is great I think my substitution was a bad idea. Some of the bitterness from the Swiss Chard overpowered my broth....oops!
    The fish was amazing and I could certainly taste the layers of flavor in the broth it was just to dang bitter.
    I'll definitely try this one again but next time use Escarole..oh and the other ingredients I forgot!

    We felt the lemon overpowered the escarole and broth. We used Salmon instead of Bass and the fish by itself was very tasty. We will try this recipe again but with only half of the lemon slices.

    This is a beautiful, multi-layered flavored recipe. We couldn't find thick striped bass pieces like he showed on his show, but we took small striped bass and butterflied it and it was amazing. You will want to drizzle olive oil at every stage, which isn't mentioned in th recipe but was shown on the show. This is just lovely.

    I have some family members who can't eat pork. This recipe sounds so yummy and would love to make it.
    I was thinking of substituting pancetta with anchovies. I've made braised escaroles with anchovies before so it could work...
    Just wondering what other ideas some of you may have.
    Thanks!
