Prepare the base broth. If making a quick fish stock: simmer fish bones/heads with water, a few parsley stems, and a bay leaf for about 20 minutes, then strain. Otherwise, heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (175°C / 350°F). Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Deglaze with wine and add tomatoes. Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it bubble and reduce slightly for about 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and the fish/vegetable stock. Stir well, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the flavors meld for at least 15 minutes.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Cook the seafood. Increase the heat to medium-high (200°C / 400°F) and bring the broth back to a gentle boil. Add the pieces of firm white fish to the simmering broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is just starting to turn opaque. Then, add the cleaned clams and mussels. Cover the pot and cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the shellfish have opened. Discard any clams or mussels that remain closed.

Finish and serve. Gently stir in most of the chopped fresh parsley. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the hot Zuppa di Pesce into large bowls, ensuring each serving gets a good mix of fish, shellfish, and broth. Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley. Serve immediately with slices of toasted crusty bread for dipping.
