Preparation
Step 1
Preparation
Toast fennel seeds in a small skillet over
medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Finely grind in a spice mill; set aside.
Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high
heat. Add onion, fennel, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and cook,
stirring occasionally, until onion and fennel
are soft, about 12 minutes.
Stir in ground fennel seeds, tomatoes
with juices, wine, clam juice, and 1 cup
water. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat to
medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until
flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Stir in fish,
mussels, and shrimp and bring to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add squid,
cover, and cook until mussels open and
seafood is cooked through, about 5 minutes
(discard mussels that do not open). Serve
with bread.
