VENETIAN FISH SOUP

Steps:

• Put the shrimp shells and the water in a small pot; bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Strain the shrimp stock into a bowl. Discard the shells.
• In a large pot, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the carrots, onions, fennel, celery, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine; cook until it almost evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp stock, clam juice, tomatoes, red-pepper flakes, 4 tablespoons of the parsley, the thyme, salt, and bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes. Taste for salt and, if needed, add more.
• Remove the bay leaves.
• Add the fish, shrimp, the remaining tablespoon parsley, and the pepper to the pot and bring to a simmer.
• Simmer until the fish and shrimp are just done, about 2 minutes.

VENETIAN SEAFOOD STEW

Steps:

• Place the beans, 3 cups of the stock, salt and bay leaf in a pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, about 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.

Add the salmon and sea bass fillets to the pot, cook about 2 minutes, turn the pieces of fish over and return the mussels, cockles or clams and shrimp to the pot.
