Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the 1 can diced tomatoes and 2 cups fish stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1.5 lb mixed seafood. Cover and cook until mussels and clams open and fish is opaque, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any unopened shells.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with crusty bread if desired.
