Steps

75 minutes
  1. 1

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dredge the hake and monkfish slices in flour and fry them in plenty of olive oil until golden.

  2. 2

    Once the fish is fried, transfer it to a large clay casserole dish and set aside. Lightly fry the Norway lobsters and prawns, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Grate the onions and add them to the skillet with hot oil. Next, add the squid rings. Sauté together until the onion is golden brown.

  4. 4

    Grate the tomatoes and add a pinch of sugar to reduce acidity. Add them to the skillet and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the tomato is very well cooked and jam-like.

  5. 5

    In a saucepan, bring a little water and salt to a boil. Add the mussels and cook until they open. Strain the cooking liquid and set aside. Remove half of each mussel shell.

  6. 6

    Heat a skillet and add the clams with a little olive oil. Cover and cook until they open, removing them as they do. Place the clams in the clay casserole dish.

  7. 7

    Add the white wine to the sautéed mixture and let it reduce. Add the reserved mussel cooking liquid and the fish bouillon cube.

  8. 8

    Stir and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.

  9. 9

    Transfer the sautéed mixture to the clay casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Then add the mussels, Norway lobsters, and prawns to the dish.

  10. 10

    Gently shake the casserole so the sauce reaches the bottom. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 5 more minutes.

  11. 11

    You can add a little more water if needed; the sauce should be slightly liquid.

  12. 12

    Make a picada by crushing the garlic, toasted almonds, fried bread, and parsley together with black pepper.

  13. 13

    Mash everything well, add a little water to the mixture, then add it to the casserole. Simmer for about 3 more minutes, stirring so the fish doesn't stick.

  14. 14

    Let the dish rest for a while before serving. To reheat, it's best to do so in the oven with the casserole covered.
