Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Slice the leeks and place them in a bowl of cold water. Rinse thoroughly to make sure all the grit is removed.

  2. Step 2

    Saute the peppers, carrots, fennel and garlic in the olive oil with the pepper flakes until soft but not brown. Add the tomatoes and a cup and a half of water. Add the potatoes and simmer gently for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, scrub the mussels and the clams. Heat the white wine in a large pan and add the shellfish. Cook them over high heat until they open (the mussels will open first). Remove them from the pan as soon as they open their shells; otherwise, they will become tough. Strain the cooking liquid if there is any sand in it and add it to the tomatoes and vegetables.

  4. Step 4

    Cut the fish fillets into two-inch pieces. Cut the squid into one-inch pieces. Add them to the casserole, cover and cook for five minutes. Add the shellfish just long enough to heat through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Added leeks with potatoes as I didn’t realize they were left out with the sautéed step. Will see?

Use fume de poisson with water. Use any fish, squid, shrimp. Use only tomato not sauce. Use peppers instead of fennel. Use shallots, leeks, and garlic. Leave sauce to sit and macerate. Add fish just before serving. Use turkish Chile flake only. Great fish.

Even though leaks are not mentioned in Step 2, I assume the chopped, washed leaks are sauteed with the other aromatics in Step 2?
