Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, chopped celery, sliced carrots, and chopped red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth and add the can of diced tomatoes with their juices.
Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried oregano, quartered baby potatoes, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Uncover the pot, and add the chunks of white fish and shrimp to the stew. Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and opaque.
Remove the bay leaf from the stew and discard it.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and the juice of one lemon. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
