Step 1: Remove skin and bones from fish. Cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces.
Step 2: Scrub mussels and remove beards.
Step 3: Trim stems and root end from fennel bulb. Pull feathery leaves from stems and mince. Discard stems and set minced leaves aside.
Step 4: Thinly slice fennel bulb and combine with onion, garlic, carrot and oil in a 5-6 quart pan over medium-high heat. Stir often until vegetables are browned.
Step 5: Add tomatoes, broth, clam juice, wine and cayenne. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes.
Step 6: Add fish and mussels. Cover and simmer just until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in center (cut to test) and mussels pop open, about 5 minutes. Add minced fennel greens and ladle into wide bowls.
