  1. Heat oil in a large, deep soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat; add onions, garlic, and celery (or fennel). Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes. Add stock, tomatoes, wine, bay leaves, oregano, fennel seed, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 20 minutes. Strain, discarding solids, and return the broth to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Meanwhile, brush bread with garlic oil. Toast in a toaster oven or under the broiler until golden brown.

  3. Bring the broth to a gentle boil. Add shellfish, scallops, and shrimp and cook, gently stirring, until the shellfish just begin to open and the shrimp are no longer opaque, about 4 minutes. Add crab, cover, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Discard any unopened shellfish.

  4. To serve, place a slice of toasted bread in the bottom of each soup bowl and ladle the cioppino over it. Sprinkle with basil (and/or parsley).
