Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Large pot or Dutch oven, wooden spoon, measuring cups and spoons, knife, and cutting board.

Ingredients
  

  • Seafood choose a mix, totaling about 2 pounds:
  • 1 pound of shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound of mussels cleaned
  • 1 pound of white fish like cod or haddock, cut into chunks
  • Vegetables:
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 1 stalk of celery diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • Liquids:
  • 4 cups of fish stock or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup of dry white wine optional, but adds great flavor
  • 1 can 14 ounces of crushed tomatoes
  • Herbs and Spices:
  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil: For sautĂ©ing

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Wash and clean the seafood, chop the vegetables, and set everything aside. Having everything ready will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.
  • Step 2: SautĂ© the Vegetables
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and bell pepper. SautĂ© until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Step 3: Add Liquids and Seasoning
  • Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Then add the crushed tomatoes and fish stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Step 4: Cook the Seafood
  • Once the broth is simmering, add the white fish and cook for about 5 minutes. Next, add the shrimp and mussels, stirring gently. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened and the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  • Step 5: Serve and Garnish
  • Remove the pot from heat and let it stand for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. When ready to serve, ladle the Zuppa di Pesce into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Pair it with crusty bread for a complete meal.
  • Variations
  • Seafood Choices: Feel free to substitute or add different seafood, like clams or squid. Use whatever is fresh or available to you.
  • Spiciness: For a kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute seafood with hearty vegetables like zucchini and bell peppers, and use vegetable broth for a delicious vegetarian version.
