Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the beans, 3 cups of the stock, salt and bay leaf in a pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, about 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy, nonreactive pot. Add the mussels and cockles or clams, cover and steam over medium heat until they open, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the mussels and cockles from the pot with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Cover. Add the remaining fish stock to the pot along with the fennel, carrots and wine. Bring to a simmer and add the shrimp.

  4. Step 4

    Cook about 2 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink. Transfer them to a dish and cover. Add the salmon and sea bass fillets to the pot, cook about 2 minutes, turn the pieces of fish over and return the mussels, cockles or clams and shrimp to the pot. Add the scallions and season with salt and pepper. Add the beans; bring to a simmer. Stir in the remaining olive oil and serve in bowls.

The beans took longer than 30 minutes, so I instinctively waited until they were al dente before proceeding with the mussels, clams and fish. And I didn't have enough fish stock, so I supplemented with chicken stock. Lastly, the almost-finished product cried out for some pepper flakes. Probably wasn't too Venetian, was it?
