Instructions

1

In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil.

2

Add onion, celery, salt, pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add the minced garlic and red-pepper flakes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

4

Add tomato paste and oregano and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

5

Add wine, raise heat to medium-high, and cook until cooking liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes.

6

Add tomatoes with their juice, bay leaves, clam juice, and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 25-30 minutes.

7

Taste and adjust seasoning.

8

Add clams, shrimp, calamari and scallops.

9

Arrange the fish on top of the stew, cover, and simmer until the fish and shrimp are firm and opaque, about 5 minutes more. Discard bay leaves and stir in parsley.
