Method

  1. To make the garlic toasts, drizzle the bread with oil, then griddle or grill until golden all over. While the toasts are still hot, rub them with garlic and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a wide, deep frying pan. Add the onion and cook over a gentle heat for 5 mins until softened. Stir through the garlic and chilli and cook a couple of mins more. Add the tomato purée and tomatoes. Turn up the heat and cook for 10-15 mins, stirring until the tomatoes are pulpy. Pour over the wine and cook for 10 mins more until most of it has boiled away.
  3. Add the fish stock and orange zest and heat until gently simmering. Nestle the halibut chunks into the liquid and cook for 5 mins. Add the clams and prawns and cook for 5 mins more until the fish is cooked through and the clams have opened (discard any that haven't). Sprinkle the parsley over the stew and serve with the garlic toasts.

    Very delicious!! Did not have any clams so did not add them, not really needed. Mine was not as thick as the picture so might not add as much stock next time.

    This is a wonderful dish and always goes down well with my family. We use mussel meat instead of clams and any white fish works well. Chopped tinned tomatoes are good too. Perfect Mediterranean dish.

    In answer to empresschu: fish stock is the fish equivalent of chicken or vegetable stock used in chicken or vegetable dishes. You can make your own, use a fish stock cube from a packet available in supermarkets or buy it fresh in a carton in some supermarkets.

    Lovely, and impressive main course! Loved the orange hint of flavour. Halibut is VERY expensive - 1kg cost me £25, so was not a cheap dish to put together!! I would also use less stock - once the fish and clams are added, they create mose juice, and it was maybe a little watery when serving!

    Delicious, used different seafood combo and lemon zest rather than orange, worked superbly.

    "Fantastic" Thought that we would have a lighter option for New Years Day after all the Christmas naughty foods. Again Halibut was very expensive mine cost £40. So a bargin to get it at £25. Will definatley have this again.

    Great recipe, now a family favourite. Halibut is extremely expensive, so I used conga eel and / or coley, conga worked brilliantly, and very cheap! Will be cooking this many times.

    Tried this recipe for my mum and her bf and they loved it. Not a fish person but would suggest making it with monkfish, cod and hake and make it with mediterreanan bread was so nice. Will use it so many times :)
