Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and red chili flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, fish stock, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Add the mussels and clams to the pot, covering with a lid. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the shells open. Discard any that remain closed.
Gently add the shrimp and white fish chunks to the pot. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is fully cooked and opaque.
Remove and discard the bay leaf. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the Zuppa Di Pesce into large serving bowls, ensuring an even distribution of seafood.
Garnish each bowl with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve immediately with crusty bread on the side for soaking up the delicious broth.
