Directions:
In a dry fry pan over medium heat, toast the saffron until fragrant and a shade darker, about 1 minute.
Transfer to a bowl and crumble the threads.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
Add the onion, fennel and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
Stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add wine, cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the broth, tomatoes, potatoes, oregano, and saffron.
Reduce heat, so the mixture simmers, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the clams and mussels to the pan, cover and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the fish, cover and simmer for 1 minute.
Add the shrimp, cover and simmer until all the clams and mussels have opened (discard any that do not open), and the shrimp and fish are cooked (opaque throughout), about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and ladle the stew into warmed bowls.
