Cooking Steps
- Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and fennel to the olive oil, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
- Add the garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the dry white wine, turning the heat to medium-high. Scrape the bottom of the pot to lift any brown bits, cooking the wine for 90 seconds.
- Combine the pulsed or crushed tomatoes with the clam juice, and then reduce the heat to medium. Allow the sauce to simmer moderately for 10 minutes.
- Incorporate the calamari into the simmering sauce, and cook for 15 minutes until tender.
- Add the chunks of cod or your chosen white fish, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
- Introduce the cleaned little neck clams to the pot, covering it with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams just begin to open.
- Stir in the mussels and shrimp, covering once more. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and the mussels open (about 5-7 minutes).
- Discard any clams or mussels that remain closed after cooking.
- Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper as needed. Turn off the heat and fold in the minced parsley. Serve warm.
