Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Peel the onion and garlic, and chop finely.
  • Clean all the fish seafood by rinsing under running water. If necessary, peel the shrimp. Brush all the shells and rinse under water.
  • Next, cut the octopus into one-inch pieces. Then, slice up the firm white fish, but not too thin so that it does not fall apart into pieces while cooking.
  • Turn on the stove to medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil, onions and garlic. Sauté for three to five minutes until they become transparent.
  • Add the octopus and lightly fry it.
  • Immediately after add fish stock, white wine, oregano and tomato paste. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • After about five minutes, add the crab, fish, clams and mussels.
  • Cook for about five more minutes. Turn off the stove, and add the shrimp or prawns. Allow them to cook with the existing heat in the pot.
  • Taste and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Serve immediately in earthenware bowls with a side of lime wedges and parsley or cilantro.

Notes

If you prefer, you can make fumet instead of using fish broth. You can make it by boiling fish bones and heads together with shellfish shells. Add one onion, one carrot and two garlic cloves of garlic and boil in plenty of water for about twenty minutes. Strain and continue cooking the liquid until it reduces for another 20 minutes.
