Steps:
- For the stew: In a 6-quart, heavy bottomed stock pot or Dutch oven, heat 1/3 cup of oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 to 8 minutes. Turn the heat to high. Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, water and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 18 to 20 minutes. Season the fish with salt and add to the stew. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season the stew with salt, if needed.
- For the Crostini: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until light golden, about 12 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes. Rub the warm toasts with the cut side of the garlic.
- Ladle the stew into serving bowls and garnish with parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a few red pepper flakes on top. Serve with the crostini.

Steps:
- Peel and blanch the potatoes in salted water for about five minutes. Then cut them into slices.
- Cut cherry tomatoes in half, then cut the onion into thin slices. Set aside.
- Take a baking dish and line it with two rather large sheets of parchment paper, one placed vertically and one horizontally. Pour a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on the bottom. Now make a layer with the potato slices and two sprigs of rosemary. This is "the bed" for the sea bass. So arrange the sea bass on top of the potato layer.
- Put a clove of garlic inside each fish. Add the tomatoes, onion slices, olives and two other sprigs of rosemary on top. Add a little salt but not much, the olives are in fact very tasty. Finally add three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
- Close the sea bass in the parchment paper with the help of your hands and seal it with a silicone cooking band. Place the baking dish in the pre-heaten oven and cook for about 40 minutes at 180°C (350 F). Serve the sea bass baked in foil, cleaned and portioned, with cherry tomatoes, potatoes and olives.
