Tuscan Fish Stew

Tuscan Fish Stew pairs a silky tomato–clam broth with tender halibut and plump shrimp, scented by garlic, anchovy, and a gentle kick of red pepper. Fresh herbs add a bright, savory finish to the concentrated, sea-sweet sauce. It’s an elegant, quick dinner that tastes restaurant-worthy yet feels comforting any night of the week.

Tuscan Fish Stew
  1. 1

    Blend the cherry tomatoes and clam juice in a blender until smooth, then press the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl.

  2. 2

    In a cold pan, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, green onions, garlic, anchovy, and 1 pinch red pepper flakes. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the garlic and onions just begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato mixture, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until the stew deepens in color, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the halibut and shrimp to the stew, season with salt, and increase the heat to high. Cover the pan and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, basil, oregano, and rosemary, then pour the stew into a warm bowl. Drizzle in the remaining olive oil and sprinkle 1 pinch red pepper flakes on top. Serve with crusty bread.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
