Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, then add the fennel, garlic and chilli. Fry until softened, then add the squid, basil stalks, tomatoes and wine. Simmer over a low heat for 35 mins until the squid is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, then season.

  • step 2

    Scatter the mussels and prawns over the sauce, lay the sea bass fillets on top, cover, turn up the heat and cook hard for 5 mins. Serve scattered with the basil leaves and fennel fronds, with crusty bread.

question

What could I use instead of fennel?

Hi, thanks for your question. You can use some onion and celery instead. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Really good flavours, and quick and easy to make. I thought the half chilli was plenty, much hotter and it would have drowned the flavour of the fish. We had it with couscous which soaked up the juices nicely.

Lovely simple but beautifully tasty recipe. I made this for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect - the quantity served (very greedy) two of us however although I didn’t use mussels. My local fishmonger didn’t have any fresh squid so I used raw frozen and it was the most tender squid we have ever had.…

Made this when it was first published and made again last night for my OH birthday. Oh my, I forgot how good this is. Used fresh mussels and clams. A dozen raw oysters between us, followed by this fish recipe and finishing with lemon sorbet. So so good

Really easy to make. I replaced the fennel with thinly sliced onion, added some beef tomatoes and a red pepper. Came out great.
