Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup thinly sliced shallots (2 or 3)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 quarts seafood or fish stock
1 pound littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/2 pound mussels, scrubbed and beards removed
1 pound skinless red snapper fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound skinless monkfish fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound cleaned squid, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch rings
1/2 pound bay scallops, tough ligament removed from side if necessary
1 pound rock shrimp
1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wide, shallow pot over medium heat. Add shallots and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Add stock, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add clams, and reduce heat. Cover, and simmer 1 minute. Stir in mussels, cover, and simmer just until shellfish begin to open, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in snapper and monkfish, cover, and simmer just until fish is opaque throughout, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in squid, scallops, and shrimp. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 1 minute. Discard any clams or mussels that haven't opened, and transfer seafood to a tureen or serving bowl. Pour stock through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl. Return stock to seafood, and stir in basil. Serve immediately.

Overall, I thought the stew was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I just added a little more cream to balance it out.

I was a little hesitant to try this stew because I'm not a big fan of fish, but I was pleasantly surprised. The fish was cooked perfectly and the broth was amazing.

This stew is so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it cook all day.

I love the combination of fish and seafood in this stew. It's a great way to use up leftovers from a fish fry or seafood boil.
