- NOTE:-
- SeaQuest Seafood Medley is a wonderful mixture of shrimp, squid, octopus, cuttle fish, clams & mussels & can be found in the frozen fish section of your Super market. Other combos may be available in your area
- You may prefer to make your own mixture of seafood. You'll need about 350g + the extra shrimp
- If so, make up approx 1/2 cup of fish stock to replace the liquid in the packaged seafood
