Method

  • Step 1

    In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the crushed red pepper, anchovies, garlic and bay leaf.

  • Step 2

    Let the anchovies melt into the olive oil. Add the celery and onion and let cook for a few minutes until they soften.

  • Step 3

    Add the wine, stock, tomatoes and fresh thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce and let simmer for 10 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Add the cod and simmer for five minutes, trying not to stir so the fish doesn’t break up.

  • Step 5

    Add the shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels and cover the pot. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the seafood is cooked and the clam and mussel shells open.

  • Step 6

    Remove the lid (discard any that did not open). Sprinkle with parsley and serve with crusty bread.
