Chef's Note
This soup is a delight to the eye because the whole shell of a local blue swimmer crab is used as a garnish. The flesh is removed and used in the soup. You can substitute oysters for the shrimp. The scallops were huge and included their coral.
At Doyle's, there is also another version with shellfish or fish that is made in the same way, except without flour. It is then ladled into big deep plates and sprinkled with bread crumbs that have been browned under the salamander for a few minutes.
Budget
You can replace seafood (crab, scallop and shrimp) by 1 kg thick fish fillets, boned and skinned and chopped into bite sized pieces
