Is dried fennel the same as fennel seeds? If not what can I substitute for the dried fennel?

You can absolutely use vegetable stock. Some stores do carry seafood stock. If you cannot find seafood stock you can make a quick short cut one by adding canned clam juice and shrimp shells as well as a little seafood seasoning to your vegetabel stock/broth, bring it all to a quick boil, reduce heat and simmer for a bit and then strain.

My husband won’t eat any meat products or stocks (fish and shellfish are exempt, obviously), so I want to know if you have any suggestions for substituting out the chicken stock? Do you think veggie stock would work, or should I make the effort to make my own fish stock (since I’ve not once seen it sold in stores)? Thanks!

I am definitely going to try this, hopefully with mussels and shrimp! Looks delicious.

This sounds really good, except that we don’t do mussels. What would have to be done different to do it with the shrimp ( which we love)? My youngest daughter and her husband would love the mussels.
