  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, then add the fennel, garlic and chilli. Fry until softened, then add the squid, basil stalks, tomatoes and wine. Simmer over a low heat for 35 mins until the squid is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, then season.
  2. Scatter the mussels and prawns over the sauce, lay the sea bass fillets on top, cover, turn up the heat and cook hard for 5 mins. Serve scattered with the basil leaves and fennel fronds, with crusty bread.

    I cooked this as a special treat for my seafood loving husband and myself, i bought my fish from a Loch Fyne restaurant which cost £17.00 and it was well worth the effort, a tad expensive for 2 but as we are both seafood lovers i catered seafood for 4 but only bought 2 fillets of sea bass, served it with fresh bread and it was immense! The flavours were fabulous, will definitely make again, not really a meal to eat with people other than loved ones though due to wanting to get into the shelled stuff with your hands!

    Excellent recipe. We have just finished this superb dish. We used fresh in the shell mussels and also used two sea bass. Next time I would use more garlic. SUPERB

    Really tasty but added more chilli and garlic, which it needs. Also, if you would like to have enough sauce to dip bread in, need twice the stated amount of tomato.

    I did this for a dinner party for 6 people. I doubled the recipe and did the seabass separately under the grill (3 mins on a baking tray, skin up, w/ oil and pepper, very hot grill) as I did not have enough room to do it all in the casserole pot. it worked a real treat. folks were delighted with it. I served it in a big terrine and we helped ourselves. As another reviewer mentioned - I also added way more garlic than this recipe states. if we are eating southern med style - I say pile it on. I think I did 8 or 10 cloves. guests are all still friends so I did the right thing.
