Tuscan Fish Stew

Description

I spent a few days in Florence about 30 years ago, and while I don't remember much, I do recall my surprise at how delicious the Tuscan fish stew was. What I found so interesting was how herbs like oregano, sage, and rosemary, which I'd only associated with meat, were also used with seafood. Also, FYI just in case any old-school Tuscans are coming over: I hear that for this to qualify as an official Italian fish stew you need use at least 5 different types of seafood, which is both insane and adorable. Serve with crusty bread.

Ingredient:

  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup clam juice
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 anchovy fillet
  • 2 pinches red pepper flakes
  • 12 ounces halibut, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • ½ tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 pinch minced fresh rosemary
