Step 1
Cut hake into 2-inch chunks. Pat squid dry.
Step 2
Pulse roasted red peppers in a food processor until roughly chopped.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium. Add garlic, stir until fragrant, ~45 seconds.
Step 4
Add squid, cook 2 minutes without stirring much — edges should firm up slightly.
Step 5
Pour in wine, scrape up any browned bits on the bottom, simmer 2 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in chopped red peppers, tomatoes with juice, and smoked paprika.
Step 7
Bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes.
Step 8
Nestle hake chunks into the broth. Scatter mussels on top, cover, and simmer 8–10 minutes until hake flakes easily and mussels open. Discard any unopened shells.
Step 9
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, ensuring each has hake, mussels, and squid.
