I used the (suggested alternative) scallops instead of snapper or grouper, and it was very good. I made the mistake of adding too much white pepper (I didn't think it was that much, but taste will tell), but other than that it was very good for a cold night.

Chefs Note: Do not add shrimp and fish when clams are added to the stew, only in the last 10 minutes or the shrimp will become tough and rubbery and the fish will fall apart in the stew. Try adding Scallops or Craw Fish Tail Meat. Also try adding a cup of chopped Zucchini or Okra. It is a recipe you can have a lot ove fun with.

Enjoy and Bon App?tit
