  • 1 cup Dry white wine

  • 3 cups Fish stock or clam juice
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Seafood:

  • 1 cup Bay scallops
  • 1 pound Mussels, cleaned and debearded
  • 1 pound Firm white fish like cod or halibut, cut into chunks
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, fennel, and minced garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Pour in white wine, scraping the bottom to deglaze, and simmer for 3 minutes.
  3. Add diced tomatoes, fish stock or clam juice, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes to develop flavors.
  4. Add firm white fish chunks first and cook for 5 minutes. Then add shrimp, scallops, mussels, and crab claws. Cover and cook until mussels open and shrimp turn pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Discard any unopened mussels. Remove bay leaves. Ladle stew into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Use fresh seafood for the best flavor; frozen can be used but adjust cooking times.
  • Serve with crusty sourdough bread to soak up the broth.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
