RECIPE OF THE WEEK!
Romesco de Peix
Ingredient Checklist
- 1 lb true cod, skinned, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb Manila clams, rinsed
- 1 lb mussels (Gibson likes Saltspring Island), rinsed
- 1 lb (16–20 count) wild shrimp, peeled (except for tail section), and deveined (reserve shells for stock)
- ½ lb calamari tube and tentacle, cleaned and cut into rings
- Parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions Checklist
- MAKE a quick stock by adding a bay leaf and enough cold water to cover shrimp shells. Bring to a simmer, then immediately allow to cool, and strain.
- HEAT enough olive oil to cover bottom of a shallow pan or rondeau. Add romesco and gently heat. Add some stock to loosen so there’s enough liquid to poach seafood.
- ADD cod, shrimp, clams, and mussels and simmer 3–4 minutes, or until shells have opened. Add calamari and cook 1 minute. Make sure all seafood is enrobed in sauce.
- REMOVE from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 minute. Adjust with salt, stock, or more grated tomato as needed. Add parsley if desired. Ladle into bowls.

- 1 sugar cube
- 5 dashes Angostura bitters
- Squeezed lemon peel
- 1 glass champagne (10 tablespoons)*
- For the garnish: Lemon twist
Instructions Checklist
