Fennel seeds and Pernod, the French anise liqueur, accent this delicate marinade, named after the famous seaport. It is best with fish, shrimp or lobster tails. The recipe makes enough for one pound of fish, with some to spare for spooning over grilled fish. Any marinade coming in contact with raw meat, seafood or poultry must be boiled for one minute before using it for basting.
