Ingredients:

  • 2 Scorfano (scorpion fish) or other fish suitable for a soup
  • 4 scampi (or large prawns if you can’ t find scampi)
  • 1 small octopus
  • 4 small squid or calamari
  • 4 slices of of angler (substitute cod)
  • ½ kg (1.1 lbs) of mixed shellfish (muscles, clams, etc.)
  • 150 g. (5 ½ oz) Peeled tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 1 glass of dry white wine
  • 4 slices of Italian country bread
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Parsley, salt, pepper
Preparation:
Sauté the onion in a large frying pan until soft. Add the octopus, the squid (or calamari) and then the scorpion fish and the angler. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the scampi, the prawns and, lastly, the shellfish. Add the wine and let it evaporate. Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes (half-way through cooking), add the tomato sauce you have previously prepared in a separate pan with the peeled tomatoes (any simple tomato sauce preparation will do). Finish cooking over low heat for another 5 minutes. Add pepper and sprinkle some chopped parsley over the soup. Serve with bread slices fried in olive oil or simply toasted.
