1

Clean the mussels, peel the calamari, scale the triglia, and shell the gamberetti.

2

In a large pan, heat olive oil with garlic and chili pepper until fragrant.

3

Add all the fish starting from the largest to the smallest, cook on high heat for about 4 minutes until browned.

4

Sprinkle with white wine, add a little salt, pepper, and basil or oregano.

5

Once the wine has evaporated, add approximately 400 g of tomato pulp or sauce and bring to a boil.

6

After about 8 minutes of cooking, remove the fish from the pan to prevent overcooking and place it in a serving bowl.

7

If there are tougher fish like calamari or polipetti, leave them in the sauce to cook for another 10 minutes, adding a glass of water if necessary.

8

Add the cleaned and fresh mussels to the sauce, which will open in about 2 minutes and release their water.

9

Combine the mussels and sauce with the fish in the serving bowl, add parsley, and prepare bruschetta.
