Preparation

Step 1

Remove the legs and claws from the crabs and break the body in half. Clean bodies off.

Place the clams in a pan, add 1 cup of wine, and steam, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until clams open.

Remove clams and discard any that do not open.

Strain the stock through a cheesecloth and reserve.

In an 8-quart saucepan, heat the oil.

Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until soft, but not browned.

Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and remaining 2 cups of wine, pepper, herbs, and clam stock.

Partially cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the fish, scallops, shrimp, crab, and crab butter.

Simmer for approximately 5 minutes or until all seafood is cooked; do not stir or the fish will break apart.

Add the clams and heat for a scant 1 minute.

Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately from the pot.
