Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 green onion, chopped and divided (whites vs green)
  • 1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 6–8 small new potatoes, halved (or quartered if larger)
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups lobster stock
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 lb swordfish, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb clams, scrubbed
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the white part of the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in fennel, cook until fragrant.
  2. Add Carrots and Potatoes: Add the carrots and new potatoes to the pot. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring to coat in the aromatics.
  3. Build the Base: Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the lobster stock, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are just tender.
  4. Cook the Seafood: Add the swordfish cubes to the simmering stew and cook for 5 minutes. Add the clams and shrimp, cover, and cook for another 5–7 minutes until the clams open and the shrimp are opaque. Discard any unopened clams.
  5. Season and Garnish: Stir in the lemon zest and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
  6. Serve
