Seafood Soup Trieste Style


This traditional style of seafood soup combines shellfish with other seafood which is simmered in a tomato flavored fish stock. I love making this type of seafood soup as it really is a whole meal in a bowl.

You could vary the seafood as you desire, substituting calamari in for the shrimp, or even using only mussels and clams in the delicious broth. Serve this soup with lots of garlic bread to sop up the tasty soup!

Buon Appetito!

  1. Made recipe could not find mussels, just used more sea bass. My stew was gritty, unsure why, I scrubbed clams under running water. I will use broth recipe again but I will not put in clams.

    1. Next time, place the clams in a bowl and fill it with cool tap water. We also add a couple of teaspoons of cornmeal to the water to help encourage the clams to spit out more sand. Let the clams sit for 20 minutes to an hour. During this time, they will spit out the sand from inside their shells.
