For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of saffron threads to the stew while it simmers. Ensure all seafood is fresh and properly cleaned to avoid any unwanted textures. Serve the stew with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth, and enjoy with a glass of chilled white wine for a complete dining experience.
