I would say this is a restaurant style quality meal. But wow is it EXPENSIVE! I made it for two people and the saffron alone was $7! I used Chilean sea bass and bacon instead of pancetta. I did not have Pernod. That would have been great but it’s fine without. I would give your seafood some room in the baking dish. Our muscles were quite undercooked because I used a smaller dish. Great interesting meal but I won’t make again since it was so expensive. Probably at least $30 for two people. Still cheaper than it would be in a restaurant though!
