Making Bouillabaisse is an enjoyable experience when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the onion and leeks, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Garlic and Tomatoes: Stir in the garlic and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Spices: Add the saffron, fennel seeds, and paprika, stirring well to coat the vegetables.
5. Add the Broth: Pour in the fish stock or seafood broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Cook the Seafood: Add the white fish chunks to the pot, simmering for 5 minutes. Then, add the mussels, shrimp, and squid.
7. Season and Simmer: Season with salt and pepper, then cover the pot. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and mussels have opened.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with lemon wedges and crusty bread if desired.
