Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and red wine (or sherry) to the pot, stirring to combine.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and let it cook for about 30 minutes to develop flavors.

While the sauce simmers, prepare the seafood: cut fish fillets into bite-sized chunks, clean and crack the crabs, and scrub the clams.

Add the fish pieces and cracked crabs to the simmering sauce.
-
Cover and cook gently for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is almost cooked through.

Add the shrimp and clams to the pot, covering them with the sauce.
-
Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the clams have opened.

Remove any unopened clams and discard.
