Directions
Heat oil in a 6 qt. pot over medium-low heat; sauté onion and garlic for 5-6 min. until tender, adjusting heat down as needed to prevent garlic from browning. Add next 10 ingredients (through black pepper); bring to a boil. Add mussels and cook 3 min. Add fish and shrimp; reduce heat to a high simmer. Cook, stirring often, until fish and shrimp are opaque (about 4 min.); discard unopened mussels and bay leaf. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with parsley and pepper to taste. Serve with hunks of bread for dipping.
