healthy tuscan seafood stew

This healthy tuscan seafood stew is perfect for dinner or a special occasion filled with fresh clams, shrimp and fish.

Making this healthy Tuscan Seafood Stew was so fun for me. I joined with 11 other bloggers to bring to you a Feast of Seven Fishes. Feast of Seven Fishes is an Italian meal served on Christmas Eve to celebrate with friends and family. Even though the number seven is in the title, the meal can actually have many different number of courses, but they are all seafood. I am bringing you the soup or stew course. Even though I am calling this dish a stew, I would say it is somewhere in between a soup or stew. A seafood stew has to have lots of delicious, aromatic broth to dip bread in. In my mind it is an absolute necessity.

While seafood can often be expensive, this dish was actually considered more of a peasant dish. Fish mongers would make a stew out of leftover bits of seafood. Since I don’t have a lot of leftover bits of seafood lying around, I headed to my grocery store. I wanted a firm white fish and chose cod as it was on sale. Both clams and mussels are very inexpensive. If you can find both, use them. My grocery store only had clams. I also bought shrimp and just a few scallops. Scallops are quite pricey, but I absolutely adore them. They were my splurge item. You can add whatever seafood is on sale.

Be sure to visit my fellow bloggers to see the glorious recipes for the rest of the meal. You do not have to be Italian to enjoy this seafood feast.
