Preparation

  1. In a large dutch oven over medium heat add the olive oil, garlic, onions, bay leaf and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until onions are translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, then add the wine and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the canned tomatoes with their juices. Using a wooden spoon, begin breaking down the tomatoes.
  4. Stir in the clam juice and broth, bring to a boil, then cover and lower to simmer for 30 minutes. Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  5. Season the fish with salt and pepper and cut into 2” pieces. Set aside.
  6. Crack the crag legs and remove the crab meat breaking into 2” pieces. Add the crab and the clams to the pot and cover cooking for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and begin removing the clams as they open, placing them in a medium size bowl.
  7. Once all of the clams have opened and you have removed them from the pot, add the fish and shrimp, cover and bring to a simmer, cook for 5 more minutes.
  8. To serve, remove the bay leaf and top with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh parsley.
