How To Make christmas cioppino-(feast of the 7 fishes.)

Step 1

In a heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion & fennel. Cook, stirring until golden, about 8 minutes. Add garlic & cook another minute.

Step 2

Add the canned tomatoes, undrained, broth and clam juice. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Cut haddock & cod into 2"-pieces. If you bought whole calamari, you'll need to slice it into 1/2" rings. Add scrubbed mussels and clams to pot.
Step 3

Cook, stirring, for 3-5 mins. Place haddock and cod pieces along w/ shrimp, scallops & calamari into the liquid, down deep into the pot. Cover, cook 8 -10 minutes to let flavors meld. Stir and add chopped fresh basil, stir again.and ladle into large bowls. This is best served w/ fresh Italian bread to sop up the yummy liquid!
