Fish


1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 pound littleneck clams
� cup dry white wine
8 ounces mussels, scrubbed
2 quarts Cioppino Sauce (see recipe)
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce Pinch of saffron threads
8 ounces medium shrimp in the shell
8 ounces cleaned squid tubes, cut into rings
8 ounces firm-fleshed white fish fillets, cut into 2-inch cubes
4 ounces bay scallops 1 pound lump crabmeat, preferably Dungeness


1. Combine the oil, butter, and garlic in a wide, deep pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, 2 minutes. Add the clams and wine, cover, increase the heat to medium-high, and steam until the clams start to open, about 5 minutes. Add the mussels, cover, and steam until the mussels just start to open, about 2 minutes. (Discard any clams or mussels that do not open.)
2. Stir in the Cioppino Sauce, Worcestershire, and saffron, and bring to a simmer. Add the shrimp and simmer for about 5 minutes. Then gently stir in the squid, fish, and scallops, and simmer until they are all just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Gently stir in the crabmeat during the last minute or so of cooking time.
