Sause

½ cup olive oil
2 tbs chopped yellow onion
2 tbs chopped garlic
2 tbs chopped parsley
¼ cup chopped celery
1 tbs chopped green pepper
2 cups whole tomatoes
1 cup tomato sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbs paprika
½ cup dry white wine
3 cups water or fish stock (preferable)
1 small sprig of basil

Fish

1 pound prawns – shell on
1 pound clams – make sure shells are closed
2 whole uncooked crabs
1 ½ pounds white fish

Braise onion, garlic, parsley, celery, and bell pepper in oil till golden brown. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, and sherry wine. Cook for 15 minutes. Add water and cook on low for 1 hour. This recipe will serve six. Adjust accordingly for however many you are serving.

Add the cod first as it breaks up and helps flavor the broth. You can add the prawns soon after. Then put in the live crabs and put a lid on the pot for a few minutes until the crabs are cooked. Lastly, add the clams and cover until all clam shells are open. If there are any that did not open, discard them. Give it a good stir and enjoy with French bread!
