Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, fennel, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes, seafood stock, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the flavors meld together for 15 minutes.
Add the mussels and clams to the pot. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the shells begin to open.
Gently stir in the shrimp and white fish. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through. Discard any mussels or clams that did not open.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
