ingredients
directions
In a stockpot set over medium-low heat, add butter. Once melted and hot, add onions, and garlic. Cook until onions have softened, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the white wine and let simmer until reduced by half. Then add diced tomatoes, clamato juice, bay leaves, basil, thyme. Stir to combine and let come to a boil. Once boiled reduce the heat to low; cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, storing occasionally to ensure nothing burns.
After simmering, gently stir in clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops and fish fillets. Cover, and simmer until clams and mussels open; shrimp turns pink and the fish fillet is opaque. This should take about 10 minutes depending on the size of seafood pieces. Once all of the components are cooked through, turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. To serve, ladle into soup bowls. Top with chopped parsley and serve with warmed sliced sourdough.
