1.Shell and devein prawns. Scrub mussels; remove beards.

3.Add wine, undrained tomatoes, stock, saffron and potato to pan; bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until potato is tender.

4.Add prawns and fish to pan; cook, uncovered, 5 minutes. Add mussels; cook, covered, about 2 minutes or until mussels open (discard any that do not). Season to taste.

As a general rule, we do not recommend freezing cooked seafood of any kind because it tends to undergo both textural and flavour changes.
