Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup canned crushed tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 cups water
1 (8 ounce) fillet sea bass
8 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces calamari rings and tentacles
12 mussels, cleaned and debearded
12 clams in shell, scrubbed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ bulb fennel - cored, thinly sliced, and fronds reserved
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
salt to taste
½ cup white wine
¼ cup freshly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and water in a measuring cup or bowl. Puree using an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Cut sea bass into roughly 1 1/2-inch chunks to match the other seafood in size. Place fish, shrimp, calamari, mussels, and clams in individual dishes so they're ready to use.
  • Melt butter and olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced fennel, garlic, and salt; cook and stir until garlic takes on color, about 1 minute. Stir in white wine. Let simmer until reduced by about 1/2, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomato broth base; bring to a boil. Continue to boil until fennel is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Stir in parsley, bass, shrimp, and calamari. Add clams and mussels. Cover, increase heat to high, and cook until clam and mussel shells open and fish, shrimp, and calamari are opaque, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to warm serving bowls. Garnish with reserved fennel fronds and serve.

GREEK FISHERMAN'S STEW



Greek Fisherman's Stew image

It's summer, and no matter what you choose to drink, your plate should be bright with ripe beefsteak tomatoes and basil. If those treasures of the season complement a piece of fish, so much the better. Consider a kakavia, something Greek fishermen may assemble right on their boats, adding ingredients in fairly quick order as they cook in a round-bottomed pot also called a kakavia. It's a dish that welcomes wines that are clean-cut but with lip-smacking acidity balanced by sunny suggestions of melon and tropical fruit, like Austrian rieslings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The鮮度 of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your stew. Whenever possible, use fresh fish, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much fish or vegetables to the pot, they will not cook evenly. Cook the stew in batches if necessary.
  • Season the stew well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as thyme, oregano, or bay leaves.
  • Cook the stew until the fish is flaky: The best way to tell if the fish is done cooking is to flake it with a fork. If it flakes easily, it is ready to serve.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice: This will help to soak up the flavorful broth.

Conclusion:

A fisherman's stew is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you have a craving for seafood, give this recipe a try!
