  1. Heat some oil in a large, wide heavy-based pan (with a lid). Gently fry the onion, celery, fennel, garlic and half the chopped chilli with a pinch each of salt and dried chilli flakes until soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and a dash of water and continue to cook for 5 minutes.

  2. Turn the heat up and pour in the wine. Turn down and leave to simmer for 3 minutes until the liquid has slightly reduced.

  3. Cut the fish into large chucks, season well, and add in a single layer, pushing the pieces down so they are covered by the liquid. Cook gently for 3 minutes, then add the clams and mussels. Stir gently to combine, then place the lid on the pan and leave to steam for 3 minutes until the clams and mussels have opened. (Discard any clams or mussels that don’t open.)

  4. Place the remaining chopped chilli in a small bowl and cover generously with oil. Divide the fish stew between 2 bowls, sprinkle with the parsley and fennel fronds and spoon the chilli oil on top. Serve with toast, drizzled with more chilli oil.

  5.
