    And I did try it. I had this feeling that mussels would go really nicely instead of prawns, but instead I found a sea food cocktail with mussels, prawns and calamar. It was well yummy.

    I wasn't sure about this as I started cooking - not too keen on fennel. The end result was very good though.

    Good recipe - great flavours and very healthy. We used fish stock rather than chicken and fresh prawns and it was delicious. Not sure about it being for four people though. I think it would be stretching it a bit thin.

    I made this dish using cod, haddock, coley and prawns. I was really dubious about the fennel but it was absolutely gorgeous. Empty dishs all round, I'll definately be making it again!

    Comforting, easy and healthy. Really liked the fennel too. Wouldn't add the cooked prawns next time as they're a bit rubbery and less fresh.

    So tasty, I didn't have a fennel bulb so used fennel seeds instead. Next time I will use the fennel bulb. I served it with homemade garlic bread. Both me and my boyfriend thought it was delicious and will be doing this again and again.

    Fantastic looking and tasting. I used raw prawns and put them in at the same time as the fish. Also added mussels. Very very good and filling with some lovely mediterranean bread (Tescos!) Not sure it would feed 4 though... but perhaps we were just 2 hungry post gym adults!

    Both my partner and I don't like fennel so I left this out and put in a bit more paprika instead. We both thought that it was still a great tasting dish. Agree with comments on amount though, think it's more of a substantial dish for 2. Will definitely be making this again.

    I cooked this dish last night. It was so easy to prepare and tasted absolutely delicious. Expensive but worth every penny.

    Delicious dish. Have cooked it a few times now. It is very easy to make and very tasty. As I never seem to have any fennel, I have used a small onion instead. I also always add cooked mussels.

    This was really good. Used fish stock instead of chicken, and thinly sliced leeks instead of fennel which worked fine.

    Very nice, used big juicy black tiger prawns which were lovely. Thought the sauce should have been thickened a little bit more. Will have wholewheat bread instead of white next time to make it a bit healthier!
