Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 cup dry white wine
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
24 small Littleneck clams (about 2 1/2 pounds total), scrubbed

Cover and cook until the clams and mussels open, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Using a tongs, transfer the opened shellfish to serving bowls (discard any shellfish that do not open). Add the shrimp and basil to the simmering tomato broth.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound striped bass fillets
3/4 pound halibut fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1 chopped garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley plus additional for garnish
Salt
Pepper
20 clams (scrubbed)
16 mussels (scrubbed and debearded)
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Cut striped bass fillets and halibut fillets into 2-inch cubes (don't use tuna or salmon - they do not belong in a fish stew). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots, chopped garlic, and dried crushed red pepper. After they are light brown (about 2 minutes), add parsley, then quickly throw in the fish. Add salt and pepper to taste. After the fish is lightly colored, add clams and mussels and white wine. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes (when the mussels and clams open, the stew is done). Okay? Sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley. Serve with 1/2-inch-thick slices of Italian bread, fried in olive oil, on the side. That's it; it's done.

MUSSELS IN WHITE WINE AND GARLIC

Be sure to buy live mussels. Any open mussels that do not close when you press their shells a few times are dead, and you should discard them.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups dry white wine
4 large shallots, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 pounds live mussels
1/3 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley, chervil, or basil, chopped
6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Rinse and scrub mussels under cold running water. Using your fingers or a paring knife, remove beards (strings that hang from the mussels' shells), and discard.
  • In a large stockpot set over medium heat, combine wine, shallots, garlic, and salt. Simmer 5 minutes. Add mussels.
  • Cover, and increase heat to high. Cook until all mussels are open, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs and butter. Remove from heat. Divide mussels and broth among four bowls. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prep your seafood: Before you start cooking, make sure your fish, clams, and mussels are cleaned and prepped. This means deveining the shrimp, shucking the clams and mussels, and removing any bones from the fish.
  • Use fresh seafood: For the best flavor, use fresh seafood whenever possible. Fresh seafood will have a briny, oceanic smell and a firm texture. Avoid seafood that smells fishy or has a slimy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking seafood, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the seafood from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the seafood until it's just cooked through: Seafood cooks quickly, so it's important to cook it until it's just cooked through. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Don't be afraid to experiment with different cooking methods for seafood. You can grill, pan-fry, bake, or steam seafood. Each cooking method will give you a different flavor and texture.
