Ingredients
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup dry red wine
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound mussels
1 pound crab legs, cut into 4-inch pieces
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound firm white fish fillet, such as cod, haddock or halibut
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
Heat oil in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and green pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in wine and bring to a boil; cook for 3 minutes, then add tomatoes, clam juice, parsley, bay leaf, oregano and crushed red pepper. Cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar; simmer, stirring occasionally, until the broth is rich and thick, 20 to 30 minutes.
Add mussels, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the mussels with tongs as they open, reserving them in a large bowl. Discard any mussels that do not open. Add crab legs, return to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the crab is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove with tongs and reserve along with the mussels. Add shrimp, fish and chopped basil; cover and simmer until the shrimp turns pink and the fish is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
Discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Return the reserved mussels and crab legs to the pot. Reheat briefly and serve.
