VENETIAN SEAFOOD STEW

Steps:

• Place the beans, 3 cups of the stock, salt and bay leaf in a pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, about 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy, nonreactive pot. Add the mussels and cockles or clams, cover and steam over medium heat until they open, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the mussels and cockles from the pot with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Cover. Add the remaining fish stock to the pot along with the fennel, carrots and wine. Bring to a simmer and add the shrimp.
• Cook about 2 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink. Transfer them to a dish and cover. Add the salmon and sea bass fillets to the pot, cook about 2 minutes, turn the pieces of fish over and return the mussels, cockles or clams and shrimp to the pot. Add the scallions and season with salt and pepper. Add the beans; bring to a simmer. Stir in the remaining olive oil and serve in bowls.

• Bring a separate pot of water to a boil and add mussels and littleneck clams to the boiling water; cook until shells have opened, about 3 minutes. Remove shellfish and rinse with hot water.
• Pour crushed tomatoes, water, 2 cans chopped clams, 1/4 cup olive oil, onion, red pepper flakes, garlic, oregano, parsley, and salt into a large pot and bring to a boil.
