Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in large heavy-based saucepan or casserole dish.
• Add in the carrot, onion, thyme and garlic and fry gently over a low heat for 5 minutes.
• Add in the tomatoes and the fish stock.
• Season with salt, freshly ground pepper and a little sugar.
• Cover the tomato mixture with a cartouche (a lid made from baking paper) and simmer very gently for 2 hours, stirring now and then.
• Add in the monkfish, squid, king prawns, bass and mussels and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the fish and seafood is cooked through.
• Serve the Buridda over slices of toasted Garlic Italian bread.

Steps:

• Season fish with salt and pepper. Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Add fish, toss to coat, and chill until ready to use.
• Cook polenta according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook garlic, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer garlic to a plate.
• Cook bell pepper in same skillet, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown and soften, about 3 minutes. Add zucchini, cover, and cook 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add tomatoes, garlic, fish and dressing, 1 Tbsp. slivered basil, and 1 tsp. chopped oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer just until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic, if desired.
• Divide polenta among bowls. Arrange fish mixture over. Garnish with basil and oregano.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until onion is softened, 5 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil. Add tomatoes and return to a boil.
• Stir in clams and reduce to a rapid simmer. Cover and cook until clams open, about 7 minutes (discard any that don't open).
• Arrange fish in a single layer on top of stew. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve with parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Thaw fish and shrimp, if frozen. Rinse fish and shrimp; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into 1- ½-inch pieces. Cut shrimp in half lengthwise. Cover and chill fish and shrimp until needed.

Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
