Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 anchovy fillets 

1 bay leaf 

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes 

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 

1 medium yellow onion, chopped 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes 

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 

1 pound firm white fish fillets (cod, halibut or mahi-mahi), cut into large pieces 

8 sea scallops 

12 blue mussels 

8 littleneck clams (rinsed well) 

8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined 

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the anchovies, bay leaf and red pepper flakes and cook until the anchovies begin to dissolve, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, onions and some salt and pepper. Saute until the onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and parsley and use a wooden spoon to crush the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to blend the flavors.
  2. Season the fish fillets and scallops with salt and pepper. Raise the heat under the skillet to medium. Add the mussels and clams and gently stir to combine. Cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Add the fish, shrimp and scallops and gently stir to combine. Cover and cook until the seafood is cooked and the shellfish are open, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and serve immediately.

Wow, Katie, you nailed it! Just served it tonight to visiting family who all raved and felt so special being served this elegant dish. Shockingly easy to make but everyone was impressed. Made it exactly to your directions. Served it with garlic bread and a fabulous bottle of white wine resulting in an impressive and romantic meal. Will be serving your Cioppino for many years to come. Thank you, Katie!
