Scrub the mussels and discard any that stay open; cut the squid into rings and the sea bass into large pieces.
Soften the onion and garlic in olive oil for 6 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, fish stock, red pepper flakes, and salt, then cook for 15 minutes until it reaches a sauce consistency.
Add the squid to the sauce and cook over low heat for 8 minutes.
Add the sea bass, shrimp, and mussels, cover, and cook for 9 minutes until the mussels open.
Remove any mussels that do not open and toast the bread slices.
Serve the seafood stew hot with parsley and toasted bread.
💡 Tip: Do not add the fish at the beginning; after the squid cooks in the sauce for 8 minutes, the sea bass cooks quickly without falling apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cacciucco in a wide deep bowl with toasted garlic bread and an optional arugula salad.
